That’s what religion is.

No, that’s what some people think religion is. You’re describing a subset of Christianity, which is in itself a subset of religions. Just because it may apply to a large number of Americans doesn’t make it the norm everywhere.

You just said that’s not religion, then you told me it is religion. It can’t be both.
No wonder you’re agnostic.

What magical mystical beliefs? You just pointed out I’m agnostic. By definition, I’m the one waiting for proof.
Nobody in this thread claimed it’s real. The only claim was that they’re not necessarily mutually exclusive with reality. Buddhism for example believes in reincarnation of souls. Good luck proving a negative with that one.
Honestly, militant atheists like you give the rest of us nonbelievers a bad look. You’re like that one vegan who keeps calling everybody Hitler.
