                Y’know what, TIL. I’d always thought they were more of a political entity that operated under an antagonistic (to some) name. Come to find out, though, through the magic of THE INTERNET, that they are a non-theistic new religious movement.

                  If you want a religion that isn’t a religion you can join me in secular humanism.

                  Also, kudos to you for admitting an honest mistake.
