You: If you don't believe in the tooth fairy, you're religious. If you don't believe in unicorns or dragons, you're religious. If you don't believe in God, you're religious.
Me: Sorry, but no.
This kind of argument has been done a million times but not once has a single person ever once answered this question: Why is it religious to not believe in something that has no reason to be believed in?
I don't believe in things without evidence. I don't hold a single superstitious or irrational belief. Everything I believe in has been tested and proven using tools available thus far by someone somewhere. If something proves that one of my beliefs is wrong, I'll instantly alter my beliefs to reflect the truth. That is NOT a religion, that is just common sense.
