So what would you have me add. A part of their theology, which I have included in their overall ideology? It is already there.
IOW, there is nothing else that they follow. — Gnostic Christian Bishop
We also shouldn't assume everyone executed during the iquisition was relatively innocent.

What had they done, even if guilty, to deserve death?
When Christianity ran out of heretics to kill, they turned to killing witches.
How many of those do you think were real witches and deserved to die?

That makes no difference. A belief system is a network of beliefs. You qualify as an atheist both if you lack any belief concerning gods or with the following one belief, "gods don't exist". One belief is not a network of beliefs, so one belief is not an ideology. It's simple English. — Baden

If you're looking for an ideological version of atheism, try anti-theism. — Baden
Probably not many. Not all of the Christian church participated in the Inquisition. Are you aware of all the killing done by Atheist/Socialist rulers? — christian2017
Communism/Atheism has killed far more than religion in alot less time. Just imagine the death toll in 500 years as far as Atheism goes. This doesn't even include abortion. How do you feel about Abortion? — christian2017
even someone who simply refuses to believe in any ideology, — Vaibhav Narula

I don't care what you call yourself or whether someone calls me agnostic, atheist, non-theist etc because of the fact that I don't believe in gods. I don't see what substantial difference it makes. I'm just explaining the meaning of words and drawing logical conclusions, one, a very obvious one, which is that being an atheist does not necessarily entail having an ideology. It could, if you were also an anti-theist, but it's not part of what defines atheism. That's just reality. — Baden

I guess you're American and afraid of the word "atheism" because, well, America. Even, I, being Irish, feel a twinge. But it ain't nothin' scary really. — Baden

— christian2017
Yes. All allowed and encouraged by governments. Including Christian governments, that all encouraged inquisitions and jihads.

— christian2017
Think of the numbers that religions have killed for the 4,500 years before that.
Abortion? Wrong issue here, but lest you forget, most were done by Christian women.

An ideology is a thinking system. We all think and follow the thinking by actions. All people have some kind of ideology. Thinking people all think in a way that falls under some ideology proposed by someone. — Gnostic Christian Bishop

Atheism is God denial, no religion involved.
Yes people claim to be Atheist who misrepresent it.
If that's conflated to mean lack of any belief or void of belief, I don't agree. — ztaziz

You think your ethics are good. But my ethics are different from your ethics. — christian2017
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
