how i see it; religions are based on faith, aetheism requires the faith that there are no higher powers (as there isnt any proof)

Bollocks. Aetheism was a name conjured up to group those who chose to believe that they didn't need a 'God' in their life.

It's not a religion, it's the name for people who are 'without a god'.

"Atheism can be either the rejection of theism, or the position that deities do not exist. In the broadest sense, it is the absence of belief in the existence of deities."

As opposed to those who chose to believe in one God - monotheism.

There is no 'faith' involved with aetheism, it is the lack of faith which makse you aetheist.

Agnostics are better described as 'on the fence' rather than not having a belief.

Well.....the Bible Belt Baptists and Muslim Fundies are having a good go in Iraq and Afghanistan......and the Zionists and Muslims in Palestine......if they could just do it without involving everyone else....

Agnosticism - Greek: α- a-, without + γνώσις gnōsis, knowledge; after Gnosticism) is the philosophical view that the truth value of certain claims — particularly metaphysical claims regarding theology, afterlife or the existence of deities, spiritual beings, or even ultimate reality — are unknown or, in some forms of agnosticism, unknowable.[1]It is not a religious declaration in itself, and an agnostic may also be a theist or an atheist.[2]

Yes. I look at the stats for New Zealand and smile.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_New_Zealand

Red: Christianity
Yellow: Other
Blue: No Religion

Also remember that many people who list themselves as Christians don't actually believe, I don't think there are many that list themselves as no religion but secretly do believe.

If the trends continue, No Religion will be the largest group in the next 10 years.
I don't necessarily want to see all religion gone, just as long as it is in the minority and has no power, I'm happy.

Sweeeet

...........'Other' is slightly worrying; if its made up of Hindu or Buddhist we are safe, Muslim fundamentalists however are of grave concern.

Nahh You’re wrong SPB The Trinity Televison Network that's God's TV station said the fastest growing religion was Feminism, Humanism, Satanism, Witchcraftism, UNism, Federalism and Obamaism. Yep according to these guys the Anti Christ has arrived and he will announce himself in 2012 in the raiment of the Galactic Alignment.
