Far greater minds than yours or mine agree with me on that, if "mere" logic doesn't convince you. Atheism is the description of a non-state, it is the default position - it is natural.
Then my beagle is an atheist. Clever beagle!
My bunions are atheists, too. Clever bunions!
So is the jizz in the sock under my bed. Clever jizz!
No, atheism only describes (potentially)thinking minds, as I already stated after that reply.
You mistake it for some sort of a philosophical position when it is merely a linguistic convenience for describing people other than theists, theists who make up the majority since time immemorial. Atheism doesn't mean anything. It is merely a placeholder for the longer phrase, I am not a theist.
