cc: i’ve heard bartenders say the same thing about conversations at the bar: “no religion. no politics.” too contentious. do you work in the service industry?
to answer your question, when i was in high school, a priest asked me if i thought ghandi went to heaven. (you know, catholic heaven.)
that question – more than any other – started a cascade of thoughts that eventually led me to ascertain that there is no “god.” or “higher power.” or “supreme being.” or any other omniscient, omnipotent force in the universe.
when it’s over, it’s over.
and, no. atheism is not a religion.
