Is Atheism based on superstition?

I would like to say as a general point: paarsurrey, it is not normal use of English to put 'Please' at the end of every sentence, to refer to people as 'one' or to put 'Regards' in every post.

Actually I use 'one', but the other two, no.

I don't get one exactly. Please illustrate one's point for me.

In other words: we met in so many threads and I got to know your way of thinking to my satisfaction.

And yet, you keep surprising me with your viewpoints.

Is philosophy 100% accurate? I don't think so. Please

Accurate in what way? If I expose that knowledge is greater than true belief, wherein does accuracy lie? If you believe the arguments as I do, then you may be convinced, but if you have good counter-arguments you may be convinced of something else. Analysis makes no claims of accuracy, except where it may analyse accuracy.

Philosophy is working of the human mind. To err is human, hence philosophy is not 100% accurate.Right? Please

ThIse basis is in finding religious claims regarding gods to be incredible. We might be wrong, but that isn't superstition in itself.
One sense of superstition is "unreasonable notion", just to critique religions while not to critique Atheism on the same basis is unreasonable and inequitable.It makes Atheism an irrational belief/unbelief.
Is it not superstition or the like?

Atheism is just a lack of theism. It's not an explicit belief.

Suggesting atheism is based upon superstition is like claiming the rules and standards of not collecting stamps are too convoluted.
