Description

Disclaimer : Regardless of the setup for voting win or lose, The aim of this interaction, Is for those that view it, Learn and or take away anything that will amount to any constructive value ultimately. So that counts as anything that'll cause one to reconsider an idea, Understand a subject better, Help build a greater wealth of knowledge getting closer to truth. When either of us has accomplished that with any individual here, That's who the victor of the debate becomes.

So , atheists are or can be very religious. There's absolutely no doubt to not believing that this is controversial. This topic statement is so true particularly within a certain time of our history, it was really made so.

Now no spoilers, I don't want to give too much away. I'm hoping somebody will come along thinking they have an argument against the topic statement.

You can send a question for more information but it most likely won't be much more than what was said here.

Laveyan Satanism is an atheistic religion.
Now when I Google this, this is what comes up.

I mean what are the tenets of this religion? You have to deny/reject all other gods outside yourself being a god.

So maybe you guys have a fixed definition of this religion. I don't know. The source provided stated Satanism is of a philosophy and religion. It says this in the very first paragraph, segment or very early on.

I won't make the charge of your denial but atheism is not less than what it is just because of this religion.
There's no effort to try to conflate atheism and theism.
Apparently religion is not always theistic though.

Laveyan Satanists are not religious. Therefore, they are atheists.

Ya can't be both at once.

@Mall

Ah yes, a group that your opponent invalidated and/or disproved its very existence of nature, despite they exists. LaVeyan Satanist are not both.

The biggest proof to date of a dishonest, bias site.

The person provided a source that said there is a religion involving atheists. This is part of why it's impossible to not be secure in what I say is the truth.

Sorry for the incessant pings. I was trying to fix my vote and was having trouble. I wanted to give PRO more credit than I gave them initially in the first vote

Vote.

@Mall

Sorry, when I said "LaVeyan Satanists are not atheist" I mean that they weren't religious or they didn't believe in a deity.

@Intelligence_06

I think he just likes to stick it to the formal debate community, personally

-->
@MisterChris

Well why Pro argues that? He is the same guy who said Hitler and Trump aren't racist! Both white supremacists!

Yare yare daze.

@Intelligence_06

Precisely. I don't consider it worth the time to debate tbh.

@MisterChris

This is pure falsism. This is like arguing that totalitarian government practice anarchy.

Not going to go after the low-hanging fruit this time around...that said, I'm curious why PRO argues this.
