Lets just make it clear that just because someone believes in God that doesn't mean that they follow a religion*** IP: Logged |

You might have a point there. IP: Logged |

My point exactly! As I see it, Aries are all about individuality and following their own rules. If a rule doesn't work for them, they'll rebel against it. IP: Logged |

They are who they are because they want to be, not because they're following an order of any kind (at least not one they didn't approve of.) In short, they are independent.
Yes, I agree, independence would play a big part in that. Aries need to think for themselves and do not respond well to anybody trying to impose beliefs on them. They need time to see if a rule or a doctrine is reasonable, in order to conform to it. IP: Logged |

I have an Aries aunt who is a constant fixture in our local church, and, honestly, I sometimes have a feeling that she actually runs the place. Being a prominent church-goer has done wonders for her social status, and she enjoys it tremedeously. IP: Logged |

Something that has to be remembered when the word atheist is being used is the definition of Atheist is someone that believes there is no force or entity out there which holds an order. So in a way to say a person is atheist is to say that they reject any possible form of orderly naturalism, spiritualism and of course religions. But if a persons belief system is "I don't believe in one particular thing, anything could be anything" that does not fall under the definition of an Atheist. You are still believing in all possibilities. If you look up the definition to atheist the words the pop up are "nonbeliever" or "disbeliever." But how can a person be a "nonbeliever" when their mind is still open to all possibilities. This being said, I've never quite understood the concept of "Atheist" because a lot of people use it out of context. Why the concept even exists actually does not make sense to me but moving on.. I've seen more Aries believe in "I believe in myself " with the possibilities of an open belief system. So according to me, it again does not fall under an atheist definition.
