Atheism, misinterpreted as a religion

Misinterpreted meaning to mislead, explain, or understand incorrectly, this is a word that is popular in relationships and in any occasion for that matter, misunderstood also a word that has a strong influence in society specially when one wants to explain something but for some reason  rejected because of  the way people think or the way they approach it.

So this is the question why to people misinterpret atheism as a religion, maybe because if you don't believe in God your automatically wrong or your a evil person, that's a stereotypical  way of thinking first of all atheism is not a religion, i repeat NOT a religion and second we are not satanist, we don't offer a goat or anything to sacrifice we are people that believe in realism or to put it in a simpler form we express what we know and feel, we advocate the voice of truth, atheism is the rejection of belief in deities, skeptical in a way that we want to find the truth behind the things that people see and belief, we respect the decision of other people about what they believe in but when i say " i am a atheist " people respond in an ill manner way, that is so annoying that i want to tell them whats wrong in being an atheist i am just being myself nothing more, in the article by "Keith M. Parsons" she stated that "Atheism has long been the target of hostility. In the Laws, Plato recommended various degrees of punishment for atheists." and she stated seven misconception about atheism  in her article misconceptions this are:
1) Atheism implies that life is absurd or meaningless.
2) Atheists, since they lack a conception of heaven or hell, have no motivation to be good.
3) Atheism is the claim that no gods exist. Atheism therefore must prove a negative, but it is impossible to prove a negative. Therefore, atheism is an impossible doctrine.

The above statement is so wrong we live our life as normal and non threat to society we just see things differently that's why people think that we are evil or something,even though we don't believe in heaven and hell,we are good! almost all atheist are in a pursuit in making our world better, what can you expect in a society that is blinded by false truth, what they want to hear is what they believe in, we don't believe in God simply because we believe in the fact that we came from apes and not in a book, facts vs fiction,they say bad-things about atheist what about a question: what if  we ask why did God exist in the first place, did God really exist what would the society answer?  they will just ignore you or they will argue with you, they will persuade you that they are right and you are wrong, for me God is like a placebo effect you think that he exist but in reality it is just your imagination that made you think and feel the present of the God, the brain is a powerful tool that's why people invented and created things anything is possible if you set your mind to it.

So i say this to you people, atheism is not a religion we are simply a group of people that seeks the truth we are neutral,we live our life with purpose, so don't judge us by our way of thinking because we never judge anyone for what they are, we just simply think differently.
