umm if you dont believe in any religion then your religion is atheism/atheist. But that in itself is a hard thing to understand, They dont believe in anything BUT believe in atheism without believing in it.

If you do, but you don't believe in religion per se, you're agnostic.
If you don't, you're athiest.

Not necessarily...the difference is in whether or not you believe in a God.
If you do, but you don't believe in religion per se, you're agnostic.
If you don't, you're athiest.

An agnostic is a person who feels that God's existence can neither be proved nor disproved, on the basis of current evidence. Agnostics note that some theologians and philosophers have tried to to prove, for millennia, that God exists. Others have attempted to prove that God does not exist. Neither side has convincingly succeeded at their task.
and yes is agnoticism.
Atheism is confined to one factor: the existence or non-existence of a deity.
Atheism can be the positive belief that there is no deity.
Atheism can be the absence of a belief that there is a deity.

If a tree falls.....

Christmas is about bringing trees into your home, and buying gifts for people!
Jesus lost his part in it along time ago.
Another missed memo Jim?
