+ Nothing is really atheist.
Religion hides - not so well - under the form of ideology.
Nazism, Communism and Zionism are ideologies.
This is a fun and glorious example:
(A) CATHOLIC DOGMA :
This is a religion. To be a catholic you need to believe and profess the following 3 points.
1/ BIRTH/ELECTION: jesus is the son of GOD, pure, innocent, with zero sin
2/ PASSION: he went to the deepest level of hell and suffered the worst torture and humiliations
3/ RESURRECTION: he came back!
These 3 points need to be beleived for real not like fiction. If you denie one of them you are not a catholic... and depending on the context you might even have to burn.
Interesting how we find the SAME pattern but without the religion "label" in modern Zionism.
It pretends to be atheist... but it is SUPER RELIGIOUS nonetheless... It is not traditional Judaism of course... Actually it has NOTHING to do with Judaim... It is a totally new XXth century thing... Its weirdness is that it pretends to be HISTORICAL while is based on pure propaganda and religious belief, desguised as "history".
(B) ZIONIST PROPAGANDA:
1/ BIRTH/ELECTION: a group of people is designated as a race (which is not true at all in reality, this Zionist propaganda was also Nazis propaganda!)
2/ PASSION: this group of people pretends as a historical fact it went to hell for 3000 years (while historians write they acted more like predators of nations) which culminated in WII... in the so called death camps (here again many good historians say: no proof of gas chambers and numbers below 250K) So because of the lack of proof, one needs to take a leap of FAITH.
3/ RESURRECTION: Humans and nations must officially recognize as a fact the Frankestein re-creation of the Thing... "It came back"...
One need to believe in these 3 points to be a gentlemen in many places.
People calling themselves "atheists" will consider these points like dogmas and react not only religiously but fanaticaly if you "denie" any one of them - you might as well be burned.
Do you see how the pattern is the same at (A) and (B)?
(B) is an "atheist-ish" copy of religion (A)
