all religions can have their idiosyncratic forms, mysticism is like that. oneness cannot differentiate from itself, it's point is pointless and cannot be measured against another.
e = m(c*c)
I AM that i am
When Buddha was asked what he was teaching, he said "the way things are." He said nobody should believe his teachings out of faith, but instead they should examine for themselves to see if they are true or not.
Buddhism is a way of life, not a religion.
Do you want to discuss why e=mc^2 is proof that the god of revelation 19:6 KJV cannot exist in this universe at the same time as you? Or was that just a throw away line to fill in space?
Your last line can be condensed to 'I am I'
only if you wish to discuss the spooky action at a distance doesn't work under the guise of relativity

Old hat.
And what had it to do with the mass energy equivalence formula? Which has nothing to to do with quantum mechanics
it has to do with information traveling faster than the speed of light.
information is power

Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them.

More like atheism is like a religion like a scrapbook is a stamp collection. A scrapbook can contain a stamp collection, but is not itself one.
This is just as true of theism. Theism isn't a religion either. But it can contain them.

"It followed from the special theory of relativity that mass and energy are both but different manifestations of the same thing -- a somewhat unfamiliar conception for the average mind."
sounds buddhist to me

Atheism : Disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods. Other thasn that all bets are off
So you are saying disbelief in gods is a religion?
From your own link
https://phys.org/news/2015-11-nist-team-spooky-action-distance.html
"Additional correlations beyond those limits would require either sending signals faster than the speed of light, which scientists consider impossible, or another mechanism, such as quantum entanglement."
Entanglement (quantum) has no relationship to light (classical)
I didn't say that atheism was a religion but rather that there are religions that are kind of atheistic. I kind of mispoke as there are also straight up atheistic religions. I don't see why a religion has to be "revealed" and even if it is, why can't it also exclude the concepts of gods at the same time?
Look for example at animism, Satanism, Buddhism, and several other religions that might be able to be more atheistic than what the OP is currently trying to work with.
the other mechanism is sending signals ...................

negative belief systems or positive belief systems don't require a god. a belief system can be void of gods but not of beliefs. a belief system becomes a religion when it is organized on a larger scale.

Nope, but there are atheistic religions. Some schools of Buddhism, Hinduism, LaVey Satanism, Taoism, and so on.

I agree with you. I did not always believe but I wouldn't do some things anyway. Now that I believe in God, I put faith in Him and have hope for a better life.

Me too, but I chalk that up to being the daughter of an evil monster and a psychotic. My life goals are about using my "monsterness" on the side of good.
I want to be a Muppet monster, not a horror movie monster, LOL.
My name translates to "warrior", IIRC.
We all have our gifts in the spiritual realm. Even if you aren't some sort of psychic soldier, you might find you are something equally as important. Even if your only gift in the spirit realm is telling the truth, it will help protect you from all the liars in that realm.
I'm not one, though I like their work. Feel free to message me and maybe we can work on some stuff.
I will gladly walk through hell with someone if it means protecting them from getting burned.
Message me and I can give my email. I'm on FB too.
Maybe you're just a caterpillar who eats everything in sight. They can be ugly and destructive, but the butterfly may be worth it later.
Pope already is living in a facility. Clearly something is missing in the treatment plan or there'd be more progress.
I have a degree in psychology and I'm an RN, so it's not like I'm against medical treatment, but I'm also smart enough to review the care plan, so to speak, and know it's just not working.
To be fair, those [insert sin here] Anonymous groups practically drill the thought you are powerless into your head. I attended one as part of my education and ... it was ... educational, all right: a bunch of drunks who gave up booze while nearly killing me with a ton of cigarette smoke. (I have asthma.) What we SHOULD be teaching is that the powerless stage is just the first one, where you realize you are out of control, but you CAN get control eventually, with practice. No one is epic overnight. The problem may never even really go away, but you can resist it or channel it into something more productive.
That of course does not make atheism a religion, it does however indicate the mindset of people in those groups
Buddhism is not a religion but a way of life. Hinduism has belief in about 30 million gods, therefore not atheist. Satanist worship the god satan, you may not consider satan a god but satanist do. Yu-huang is the great High God of the Taoists, there are several other god of the faith. There are are course groups of individual's who gather to discuss their atheism, some even sarcastically call these gathering places temples or chuches.
My foray into psychology was an elective at uni, interesting and educational but sadly dropped in my 3rd year to concentrate on my dissertation. I have kept up with events through magazines and a couple of psychologist friends. I find my little knowledge useful when spending time with my brother in law who is schizophrenic, and when i was hiring as md, it also works well as a good bs detector.
I've not been here long enough to make a judgement call on pope but i am suspecting you are correct
