Nope. What about Taoists and similar ? It's still a childlike metaphysical oogly boogly collection of internally inconsistent shite, but hey, they don't have a sky god/creator.
This is what really fucks me off about militant aetheists, the way they lump a shitload of incompatible belief systems into the same basket of piss poor analysis.
Edit : However, the stalin reference is a bit dumb. Sorry.
So is taoism atheism? I would have thought that it isn't a religion as such, more a philosophy. does it actually deny any gods? or believe in any gods?
