The determination to redefine a simple definition with false grammar is amazing. What is the motivation...
The simple definition is that atheism is not theism. What part of that do you not fucking understand?
Mere atheism is not an assertive statement about anything, so it makes sense to say that mere atheism neither asserts/suggests the existence of god(s) nor asserts/suggests the non-existence of god(s). It's just a lack of belief in god(s) ... a "lack of theism".

If you think there's a blatant contradiction here, please point it out properly because I'm not seeing it.
Lack of belief in "A" does not logically necessarily mean belief in "not A" because it can possibly mean lack of belief in "not A" as well.
Quote:No belief in no God. This is a double negative and as a grammatical rule is a positive.
And so means belief in a God.
Where's the "double negative" here? Just because there are two "no's" in the same sentence doesn't mean the sentence contains a "double negative".
Quote:What is the purpose of argument for people here?
Are u looking to gain knowledge?
Are you looking to find common ground?
Are you looking to understand different perspectives?
Are you looking to impose ur ideology?
Are you looking to win the argument?
Why don't you answer these yourself first?
