The Koran is a bible too.

All forms of religion come from some kind of holy book .... a bible

So if your discussing a religion then you have to refer back to the book (bible) those religious teachings came from

I wouldn't quite go that far, but certainly the majority and all major religions have a sacred text to their teachings.

Well you also have to take into account that most atheists live in first-world nations, most of which are predominantly christian. Taking that into account, most atheists were raised christian, or grew up in a christian community.  It seems obvious that would be the first place to start in pointing out the logical fallacies of organized religion from the standpoint of an atheist living in America.




I don't know why you are replying to me, but i do agree with cosmic. Talking only about the bible in a every religious debate you get yourself into is boring and annoying. I do agree with you. But it seems anyone who wants to argue about god takes it to a jesus vs the world cock fight.


Also, the Koran is the Koran and the Bible is the Bible. Bible =/= holy book.

Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.

The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking. There are no dues or fees for A.A. membership; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. A.A. is not allied with any sect, denomination, politics, organization or institution; does not wish to engage in any controversy; neither endorses nor opposes any causes. Our primary purpose is to stay sober and help other alcoholics to achieve sobriety.

Exactly!!!

So, if your going to be talking about 'religion' then you're gonna be talking about the teachings of a book....Unless you're talking about the origins of religion, or some religion you and your friends made up over the weekend.

I may not be 100% accurate on this but here are a few recognized religions that I'm unaware of having a central sacred text.

Voodoo
Wicca*
Druid
Jedi

*I'm aware that witches have a "Book of Shadows" but the purpose and what the book contains can vary among covens and over generations

I wouldn't classify any of those as "major" religions. Or organized for that matter.
