Can Atheists Be Religious? Are there Religious Atheists?
This was an interesting article posted of at About.com.
"Religion and Atheism Are Not Contradictory Or Opposites
Question:
Can atheists be religious?
Response:
Atheism and religion are often portrayed and treated as polar opposites; although there is a strong correlation between being an atheist and being irreligious, there is no necessary and inherent connection between the two. Atheism is not the same as being irreligious; theism is not the same as being religious. Atheists in the West tend not to belong to any religion, but atheism is quite compatible with religion. Theists in the West tend to be religious, but theism is compatible with irreligion."
