Would it have been too controversial?

Atheism isn't a religion.

- No, but it's what I would pick on a form in the "religion" spot if I had to.

  I'd put "none". Just as "not collecting postal stamps" doesn't go into the "hobbies" field.

- Exactly. Atheism is simply the lack of belief in a deity; anything extra is just personalized spices.

  Ackshually.. it's a lack of theism. Technically deists are atheists.

  Atheism is the belief that there are no deities. Atheists have a burden of proof of a negative. Only agnostics get the "not a belief system" card.
  
  Fight me.

  Which is a form of faith based aproach. If you don't believe in something you believe it doesn't exist.

- Neither is cubo-futurism.

- Agnosticism isn't a religion. Atheism is. You have to have faith to "know" something doesn't exist with certainty.

  Agnosticism is the view or belief that the existence of God, of the divine or the supernatural is unknown or unknowable.
  
  Atheism is an absence of belief in the existence of deities.

  Atheists aren't claiming to have positive proof of the nonexistence of God.
  
  The term means that someone has not seen convincing evidence for God's existence.
  
  Likewise, I wouldn't say I'm agnostic about Russel's Teapot or any mythical idea because that terms tends to imply that you find the existence and nonexistence of the thing to be comparably likely.

  Mhhh well this is a difficult question. Atheists believe there is no God. So there is no point in religion. From a Atheists point of view atheism is not a religion. From a neutral pov you may argue the believe in no God is a religion of its own.

You mean geography?

- No no no, I'm a Christian because my parents have shown to me that it's the one true path.

  Hi, Christian.

  But it splits 3 ways at the top...

  And I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that it's the predominant religion where you live and it's culturally accepted as true lol

- Imagine how controversial it would be if it changed your race.

Isn't that what basically happens when you're born? I seriously wonder how many Christians would be such if they were born in India or China.

- Nah the sorting hat takes in to account who you are and who you might be. Religion us mostly based on geography.

  Agreed, though there is an argument to be said where your parents will raise you in a specific way, based on their upbringing, and therefore your nature could decide your house. Malfoy was a slytherin because his parents were, and that’s all they brought him up to be, which isn’t unlike religion, where being raised in a specific way will decide your outlook on the world

No Satanism, Pastafarianism or Wiccan on the list? >:(

Considering sports and religion always go out of control with large crowds, I bet the Quidditch matches would end up in massacres too frequently

- Ist satanism just atheism with extra steps?

  That's the us ngo satanic temple, you also have people who religiously worship satan instead of jesus. Christian multiverse. High chance of encountering cults if you look for them.

- Wiccans have the best memes

- Looks like a chart of ideological bases from Rimworld, which would explain why atheism is there, as a visual style for items in game.

Not a single new age woo woo occult religion in the bunch. There are dozens of us!

- sorting hat scrunches it’s face
  
  HUFFLEPUFF!

Well it's always nice to have options when deciding on a cult.

Know I'm thinking it just starts letting out prophecies, not answering the question of what religion you get, but rather telling stories of horror about the non-existence of God and yet the ever fleeting reality we are yet to experience.
