Nope, no meaning whatsoever. Are you high or just being silly?
Thank you, you just proved my point.
You just posted ten definitions for "god" and atheism is the lack of belief in "god" or "gods"
I don't see it referring to a specific definition. When a word means that many things, you must specify which definition of the word you are referring to. Atheism fails to do this.
Oh, so you are just being silly then. Using your un-logic I can assert that there is no such thing as cheese because it can be a verb as well as a noun.
