Were your quotes necessary around the word, 'religion'? If so, why? Why did you need to put them there?
Why
Atheism is a "religion"...
rather than
?
What (if anything) are you trying to signify by having your quotes there that you could not have signified without them?
the way not collecting stamps is a hobby
To what (if anything) are you referring by your phrase, "not collecting stamps"? Lots of hobbies are not stamp-collecting, no? For instance, a hobby of collecting baseball cards is not stamp-collecting, is it? And yet, baseball-card-collecting is a hobby. So, to what (if anything) are you referring by your phrase, "not collecting stamps"?
the way "off" is a channel on television
Are you trying to say that the
word, "off", is not a TV channel? I agree that the word, "off", is not a TV channel. It's a word, not a TV channel. So what if it's not?
Are you trying to say that the
word, "off", is not
the name of a TV channel? I don't know that there's any TV channel called "off", but then, for all I know, perhaps there is one. Whether or not there is, somewhere, a TV channel called "off"--either way, so what?
What (if anything) are you even trying to say, here?
Also, you left out another common, banal, mindless stupidity of a phrase cherished by many of your ilk:
"Bald is not a hair color" is not even a sentence. The
adjective, "bald", here, is not even a substantive, is it? If you would say it
is so, why then, please tell us to
what is being referred by the word, "bald".
If you want to say "Atheism is not a religion", why can't you just say, "Atheism is not a religion"?
