But there's my point. Religion, a set of a beleifs and practices. Aethiesm, not having a religion.
Think of religion as hair. The different ones are different colours. Aethiesm is bald. As in, not having hair. (Not having religion)

I'd rather think of them as styles... bald being one.

That's redundant. How can a set of beleifs be that you beleive nothing? That's like...
"Hey, isn't this "rat" really a mouse?"
"Yeah, it's the type of rat that's a mouse."
Lol. No idea why I came up with that...

well, you believe that there is no God, and believe that when life is over it's over...
and for the origin of the earth and such, you believe in the Big Bang...
so yeah, I'd call it a set of beliefs...
I mean, to believe absolutely nothing means you're paranoid. rofl. ~Iroh~

But it's not a religion. I do not actively engage in anything to do with my "beleifs". I don't go to some... science-place. Lol. Heck, the closest I get to that is when I go to Science Works in Canberra, and that's just for scientific fun.
(Science Works. It really does.)

Ya'. Well, this one's designed to be comepletely interactive... there's a Tesla coil, and even a room that simulates an earthquake. Sitting down is suggested, but not required... lol. (I never do)
And last time, they had a special exhibit... the science of music. That was a fun day, that was...

yeah... sounds like the one we went to in El Paso...
they had an exhibit that would change every 1 or 2 months... incidentally, there was a video game exhibit, which was much like an arcade... LOADS of fun... ~Katara~

Lol.
But yeah, one thing that some people don't understand is that everything is science...
Some is harder to explain, and some are thus far only thoertical, but there it is.

But who says the dictionary people know? Lol. I mean, they might be defining the study of science instead...
