Your non Religion perception is self serving your non Religion argument well.
And good for you, in how you self present your argument, to self suit your perception?
The Religion of today will eventually become the Ancient legends/myths of Yesterday.
@Dr_Maybe
My counter argument to your non Religion argument.
No, it wont, regardless of how Religion in general, is perceived or viewed.
Religion has been around for how long now, 2000 plus years?
It will be around even after this current generation of humanity has passed its time, and the future generations of humanity, will still continue to travel and go to their Religious Buildings of choice, and exercise their Freedoms of Religion: Islam, Christianity, Catholicism, and the other Religions.
Sharing in the shared community experience, and helping out their fellow humans, IE the homeless, the poor, and those seeking clothing, or shelter.
People of all ages, have been going to a religious buildings, of their choices all this week, and they will be doing the same this weekend, wont they?

I'm not trolling, I'm trying to be fairly, and equally educated from your perception?
"You’re off topic, the debate is not about me"
@Dee, I didn't make the debate about you.
I'm asking a fair and equal question.
What is legendary or mythical about Atheism?
The Religion of today will eventually become the Ancient legends/myths of Yesterday.
The non Religion notion of Athiesm, is just as legendary, and as mythical as Religion itself is.My argument is that Religion, is pro community, and pro family oriented, while the notion of Athiesm in general, is or isn't pro community, or pro family oriented?
That aspect of the Athiesm notion, is unclear to me, and the rest of the non Religious public, and it's what I'm hoping that you, or @ZeusAres42, or @Plaffelvohfen can explain?

"Atheist Revolution"
"Breaking free from irrational belief and opposing Christian extremism."

All Children are Born Atheists
In order for Christians to argue against the reality that all children are born atheists, they must distort the meaning of atheism. They must convince themselves and their audience that atheism is a religion, a philosophy, or a worldview. They claim that atheism is an explicit repudiation of religion and that it involves "faith" that no gods exist. Such distortions in the meaning of atheism allow them to claim that children cannot be born atheist because atheism requires the same sort of deliberate choice required by religious belief.
Atheism is not a belief system but lack of acceptance of one particular belief. It requires no faith; it is the absence of faith. It is the null hypothesis, the default condition, the natural starting point for each of us.
But why must Christians distort the meaning of atheism at all? Why should they even care if their children are born atheists, especially when it is likely that they will begin brainwashing them at an early age? There are many reasons, ranging from a need to see the child as connected to them through the manner they consider most important (i.e., religion) to the harsh implications of infant mortality to their belief system.
To expand on this latter point, consider the Christian parent whose child dies before the child is capable of forming the thoughts necessary to comprehend theistic belief. According to this parent's own Christian doctrine, this child is likely destined for hell. This is where non-believers go, and this child is clearly a non-believer. The Catholics toyed with limbo as a way out, but the evangelical Protestants now engaging in America's "culture wars" never really warmed to this idea. Even theism will be insufficient for such a parent, as a personal relationship with Jesus is thought to be the only vehicle for salvation.
It should be remembered that Christians have created this doctrine for themselves and should be solely responsible for unraveling the many conundrums it presents. Distorting atheism is not an acceptable way out of the mess they have made."
Is there a Atheist Neurologist, Psychiatrist, or Psychologist, or a Pediatrics Doctor, who can share some realty based facts on the above Atheist made statement?
Where is the FACTUAL evidence to support such an Atheist created claim?
"Anyone who understands the definition of atheism must acknowledge that all children are born atheists, including those born to Christian parents."
And this statement is even more disturbing that the above claim is?
Again, where is the FACTUAL evidence to support such an Atheist created claim?

Any comment to share?
"Anyone who understands the definition of atheism must acknowledge that all children are born atheists, including those born to Christian parents. Atheism is nothing more than the lack of acceptance of the theistic belief claim (i.e., some god or gods exist). A theist is one who believes that god(s) exist; an atheist is one who does not share this belief. The newborn child cannot even entertain such possibilities and thus lacks theistic belief. Atheism is the default position, and this is where we all begin.

Atheism, by definition, is lack of theist beliefs. Does it not seem obvious that children who have just been born have no knowledge of any religions, gods, holy books, et cetera?
I am not sure what factual evidence you are looking for. You can try to interact with a child who can barely speak yet and ask them what they think about Jesus Christ or Allah. You can even write a research paper on your findings!
How do you think people come across religion in the first place? Do you envision it as a primal hunter chasing a panther in the forest, then suddenly stopping and realising, "Wait, this land was created by god in 7 days, and Jesus sacrificed himself so we could be free on this land. Now I see!"?
Of course not. Children are not exposed to any religion, until parents start teaching them theist ideas. The default state of a human being, indeed, is atheism.
