I wasn't attempting to theorise, just make a logical argument. I can make it even simpler, if you need it.

By the general dictionary and encyclopedia definitions of "religion," atheism is a religion. But if it is not, it is so close that it might as well be.

The fact that God exists (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1054513.msg13609627#msg13609627) shows all the more that atheism not only is a religion, but that it is a religion in the direction of a cult.

Way to ignore the entire conversation. I thought you above that sort of thing. I guess you're not going to answer any of my points then? In future don't bring up thermodynamics if you don't really understand it.

Since you ignored the conversation long ago, I might as well move on to other things, as well.

The point isn't thermodynamics points. The point is thermodynamics result. Nobody knows what the end result of entropy would really look like. But the evidence of it so far is that all things are attempting to coalesce. This means that all things would be dispersed evenly throughout all space and time once entropy became completely effective. Because of the gigantic amount of "reverse entropy" that has been placed in the whole universe by God in creation, complete entropy throughout all the universe might take an extremely long time, especially when you consider that time is dispersing, as well.

Just because you don't like the truth that God exists and that atheism is a religon, doesn't mean you have to continually get off the subject... or would you be unhappy if you didn't?

There is no fact that proves god's existence. However, if there was such a proof you'd probably be very unhappy. Why? (and I'm sure BitNow would agree with me here)

If god's existence could be proven, there would be no need for Faith. However, Faith is a central part of religion. Without Faith, religion cannot exist. Therefore if you prove the god of a religion to exist, you have just killed that religion.

God's existence is proven by combining universal cause and effect, with complex universe and universal entropy.

As for the faith part you are wrong. For example. Let's imagine that you really exist and that I really know it. If you express to me that you are going to give me $1,000 five days from now, I either have faith that you will do it, partial faith, or no faith.

The existence of God is fact. Believing that He will provide for me based on the examples He as given me so far in life, or based on the things that He has told me through the Bible, is faith.
