This is of course true.
But it's a problem with the believers who do this. It isn't a problem with definitions.
Clear thinking is available for believers who work on it.
Tis exactly why it can be annoying. People making comments like this, that do the opposite of what it's supposed to. I can't count the times where someone who claims to be an atheist plays the ol' definition switcheroo, but I would be telling a lie if I didn't say religious people did it as well at times. It's a "people" thing. Someone wants to win an argument so they spout nonsense.
