Do you consider Atheism, having its own "beliefs," to be a form of Faith or Religion in the Interfaith world?

While I’m not really comfortable with the jump from non-theistic to “humanist-naturalist,” I quite agree with everything you say about atheism!

Half the world's religious traditions have been non-theistic, or as I prefer to self identify, humanist naturalist. My principal concern with "atheism" is its name, as it is wed in a negative relationship to theism, like twins who are hinged at the hip. I suspect as atheists mature on their spiritual path they will leave the name behind them, as the name and the company it attracts will tend to pull them backwards.

I consider atheism a genuine path. And many atheists maintain that theirs is a spiritual one. To call it a “faith” or “religion” just muddies those terms and isn’t very useful. But a path? Certainly. (Good question!)
