If a group of people got together and collectively decided not to believe in the Tooth Fairy...?

...(let's call them "athooists" for now) have they founded a new religion? If so why? How does their lack of belief in the Tooth Fairy constitute a "religious belief"???

If a group of people got together and collectively decided not to believe in the Tooth Fairy...?
It signifies a rejection of the faith of the tooth fairy. It's an act of non-belief, not a religious affiliation.
Reply:You can't prove that the Tooth Fairy doesn't exist.
Reply:no. you cant just collectively believe in something and it becomes a religion. you have to make doctrines and stuff.
Reply:It doesn't signify a religious belief. It signifies a disbelief in the tooth fairy...that's all.

Reply:It depends strongly on whether or not individuals within that group of original anti-believers intend to go around telling other people to believe what they say.





Which could be perceived as doctrine, btw.





Doctrine + Conversion = Indoctrination.
Reply:Exactly. Good point.And yet the religious still thinks that atheism is a religion.
Reply:I don't know, but I guess you're referring to the religious people saying Atheist have a religion.


Well it their sad attempt to have something in common with you.
Reply:If one of them was the original atoothist prophet and wrote a bunch of unsubstantiated stuff about the undeniable fact that the tooth fairy is a bunch of hoo har.....








....maybe
