(March 8, 2017 at 3:17 pm)SteveII Wrote: By redefining atheism as a "lack of belief" you mean non-theist and as such now encompass all the positions other than theism (atheists, agnostics, verificationists, babies, the impaired, my dog, and park benches). So 'atheism' ceases to have any meaning pertaining to a view of how the world is and simply becomes a psychological state.

Yes. Atheist = not a theist. You're starting to get it now.
