    Well I do agree with them, I am a member. My point is they don’t believe in western religious tenants like gods and afterlife. Also I’m pretty sure they were founded in a rebuttal to the scotus opinion that athesim isn’t a religion and thus doesn’t deserve religious protections.

      Which SCOTUS decision is that?

      Atheism itself isn’t a religion; it’s just non-belief. You can have an atheistic religion, however.

      Yeah, but their whole point is that this doesn’t undermine their status as a religion. It doesn’t make them ‘a joke or parody religion’, which is the phrase you initially replied to:

      This is a common misconception. TST is not a joke or parody religion.

      What makes you say that?

      They don’t exist as a semi-serious troll organisation to undermine Christianity is my point, they take their beliefs and religious status seriously.
