Yes, number 4 can be removed because Nudger and I finally understand each other now. And sects do exists here because the commonality that you all share is the word “Atheism”.
But for me, the question, does a god exist, IS related to unicorns and bigfoot, because they are all fall under the scope of episiotomy.
My reasons for disbelieving in gods, the afterlife, souls, is not different than my reasons for disbelieving in unicorns, bigfoot, and an almost endless of toehr unsupported supernatural claims.
It's not our fault that you are trying to saddle us with being part of a religion with sects, or whatever other religious trappings you want, and then wonder why we complain about your lack of understanding and your fallacious reasoning.
Here it is again. I do not believe that gods, the afterlife, a soul exist, because they are unsupported by good standards of evidence, and valid and sound logic.
These are the same reasons why I disbelieve in unicorns and bigfoot.
I am speaking about the topics and our positions, you are trying to force your understanding of dictionary definitions on us, then calling us members of different sects, if we don't exactly fit your understanding of the dictionary.
You do know, that the people that made up the word atheist, the ancient Romans, made it up to define Christians because they didn't believe in the right gods, right?
Thank you for answering my questions by the way.
I just want to point out again the definition of atheism which is “lack of belief in gods”. Are unicorns worshipped by anyone? Officially? If yes include them so you can be happy with this pre-programmed answer from you atheists and your fallacious reasoning.

Also I am aware of the origins of the word atheist but if we go down that route and trace things to Koine Greek a lot of our normal discussions would fall apart.
