Again, my main point is just to get past the fact that atheism is pure lack. Adult atheists hold certain things to be true, use these things to evaluate claims, and reach conclusions based on that.
Has anyone ever said atheism is "pure lack" ?
It is by definition a lack of one thing.
How one arrived at that position is not part of the lack, and no one ever said it was.
It may be an informed position or an uninformed position.
The definition remains the lack of one thing.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
