Pure Lackism requires us to clarify: not having an idol is a possible trait of atheists. But since the only thing all atheists have in common is The Lack, they may idolize something else. Taylor Swift, maybe.
Sure, why not? Atheism itself is a position on a single issue. The existence of gods. In no way does it say anything about any other beliefs which may or may not be held by an atheist.
Even a child could understand this, but you cannot.
Why?
