I’ve heard atheist ppl say atheism isn’t a religion; it’s simply no belief in God or gods. But you are comparing the two?

Is belief in God superior to not believe in God? For respect to be received, it must be given, no?

But I’ve been told numerous times here atheism is nothing but a disbelief in God or gods. Santa is not a god.

DP. Parents make all sorts of decisions about their kids that have nothing to do with religion. Or, even within one particular religion, parents will have different “rules” for their family.

Intentionally going against parents’ wishes behind their back is disrespectful. Period.

This was a lame attempt to antagonize atheists. ‘Tis the season?

It is actually the grandmothers disappointment OP is dealing with. It understandably breaks her heart to intentionally exclude one grandchild.

Yes but the grandma is responsible for her own feelings. She needs to understand this message too. The holidays should not be based around managing grandma’s emotions.

No, a poster is comparing giving a kosher Jewish child bacon w/o parental knowledge to giving a grandchild a Christmas gift after his atheist parents do not give consent.

Atheism is a religion w/o a god.

You missed the whole point. Religious belief isn't superior to any other belief. If you want people to respect your belief's, you need to respect theirs or in this case, their disbelief. To this parent receiving a gift in celebration of the birth of Christ may well be as offensive as giving a kosher child a piece of bacon.

It's not.

And PP was comparing two instances of going against parents' wishes. It has nothing to do with religion.

Be the change you want to see.

If you want to see more antagonism, then proceed with your antagonizing.

Breaking kosher is breaking religious rules. Specifically.

The *comparison* isn’t religious.

Those are rules the family decides to follow. Other families have other rules. There are zero “atheist rules”.

You cited Jewish kosher as a comparison to giving a child a gift. You didn’t say that all parents have rules.

Don’t be obtuse. Parents can choose to be kosher and choose which of those rules they will follow. Other parents choose other rules for their family. The PP was comparing someone intentionally breaking family rules.

Why are you trying to antagonize? Does that get you into the holiday spirit?

What other parents, beside Jewish parents, choose kosher?

It’s an example of family rules. Other families have different rules.

Do you have a tradition of starting antagonizing threads right before the winter holidays? A seasonal fetish of yours?

There are no “atheist rules”. Just individual families making their own decisions. Just like everyone else.
