I don't recall speaking for anyone other than myself.
If you want to include animals or folks who are ignorant of God, that's up to you. For me personally, if folks want to consider that I'm part of a religion, I see little point in arguing with them.
If you are Korean, and someone told you that Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans are all the same, that is, Oriental, it just might bother you. If being mislabeled doesn't bother you, then there must be a reason why.
Since I am also speaking for myself, these are my thoughts. If I belonged to a club called, "I believe in God", then all the members of that club would also "believe in God". The club would establish its own tenets, rituals, holy symbols, language, a hierarchy of power, and a system of repetitive behavior, designed specifically to worship, revere, and maintain that "belief in God". I am told that there are over 4000 other clubs that also "believe in God", but that my "belief in God" is the true belief.
I am later told that club "Atheism" is the only club that not only disbelieves in our God, but in all the other clubs' Gods as well. This lumps us all in the same pile of silliness, from their perspective. They claim that their position is based only on the lack of evidence, and not on faith or a consensus of belief. They don't even have a system of worship, a religious hierarchy, any divine symbols, books or doctrines, no religious titles or positions, and not even a place to gather and worship their Atheism. But worst, they give us a rational explanation as to why they don't "believe in God". Since we can't produce any scientific/objective evidence to justify our beliefs, we must try and discredit their science, or demonize their Atheism by characterizing it as another religion. Attacking science failed because we would need to understand the science first. And demonizing Atheism as a religion also failed, because it is blatantly fallacious. I. E., "Theists belong to a
religion that believe in the existence of a God(s). Atheist do not believe in the existence of a God(s). Therefore, Atheism is the
religion that does not believe in any God". How many logical fallacies were committed here?
So the moral of the story is, as long as your belief in God is based on faith alone, then evidence is irrelevant. Your belief is just subjective. But if your belief in God is a knowledge claim of certainty, then your belief is objective and here facts do matter.
