2. You don't determine society. It's determined within the context of itself. What it means for you to be an atheist isn't how society has to interpret it, especially as the idea becomes more complex. If we just take one person's view and say "this is it", then we ignore the rest of people in society with have a different take on it.
3. I'm not wrong. You're wrong. (I said that because you saying I'm wrong doesn't validate your claim more than me saying "you're wrong" validates mine. Pointless.
1. Put it this way nothing he's written is equal to the book of Mathew or Cake recipes and i imagine the title is just an attention grabber .
2. No but do get to say when society is wrong and is viewing something wrong and it doesn't matter how many wrong people say otherwise it doesn't alter their wrongness
3.Actually it does because you are actually wrong and it's quite pointed
You say I'm wrong, and I say you're wrong. That's what's know as a "wash"
Society has to be able to define things in order to maintain certain laws and norms. If we didn't lump atheists together somehow, then how could we protect them? What if we just used your definition? (disbelief and nothing else) and we said everybody who believes that are "atheists." Okay, now what about everybody who is an atheist who doesn't define it like you do, but still applies the term to themselves? What do we tell them? You don't get those rights because you're "not truly atheists." Then we go round-n-round in the legal system, which of course they would win because they have the right to define themselves. Then you lose in the long run anyway, since we'll have to establish new terms and laws so we don't have more similar cases finding their way into the legal system. As such, we have more order. Atheists not fighting with other atheists because they couldn't agree on a definition. Don't believe me? Look at how a lot of the Muslims practice. Same book, different interpretations. They have a lot of problems in Canada with this sort of thing. You can't go to one mosque because you have a different ideology. Not only that, it turns violent at times. Atheists are running in that same direction. They're making churches and those churches are splitting into different churches because one wants to "practice" a different way. 10 years from now and 5k churches later, it's just going to multiply the problem. Might as well fix it while we still can.
