Atheism has no relation to politics by the way and is a perfectly acceptable way of life.

Yes, athisem can be referred as religion (may be) OR emotional notion BUT surely can not be referred as WAY OF LIFE because its only Deen which can provide same. Islam is Deen not reliogion and defnition of Deen is it comprises of worships & sociao political economic system of justice.

Even if you go into deltails of religion then athiesm has not match because if we said to be animals only then who revealed / inspired to them .......is there something which tells these animals how to live or there are built in gestures etc who drives them. For religion there has to be some revelation, isn't it.

Wassalam !

Cheers!

I think you will find that communism has failed because it was an entirely negative thing, it was against the systems of it's day and did not provide a way for humanity to progress above the basic needs. So a way of life has to provide for all the needs of the individual, not just spiritual, not just existence. Religion is of it's nature focused on the spiritual and there are good reasons why it should not intrude into the political, social and economic life of the state which is focused on satisfying needs. We have seen time and time again how when the state is controlled for religious purposes this has led to very real travisties in social justice. This is because the individual cannot be trusted to exercise secular power from a religious base. Man too quickly assumes the prerogatives of God. There must be balance and religion provides a counter-balance to secular power.

One thing Islam and communism have in common is totalitarian thinking, only one system of thought is allowed to exist at any time, neither has demonstrated an ability to co-exist with other philosophies or religions without assuming a dominance through force. Therefore as a way of life I think it lacks the system of justice you find so appealing
