> No I did not. Your response is incoherent and had nothing to do with my post except for your spurious claim that it was part of some other argument, which it was not. You have not offered any reason why communism is not a religion, if that is what your point is. If you can’t form a rational response then don’t criticize mine.

You said that atheists “bristle” at the suggestion that atheism is a religion. I explained why this is.

I’m sorry you didn’t find my explanation easy to refute.
