Do you understand what a logical argument is? Give us your syllogism. What are you premises? The conclusion? Go ahead. I’ll wait.
So you’re saying you don’t like that description to your question in English? Should I try in Italian? Greek? 😄

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.
But my reasons for believing or disbelieving claims, has nothing to do with whether it is worshipped or not.
Because, even if someone were able to demonstrate that a god does exist, I would no longer be an atheist, but that does not mean I will worship said god.
I put gods into the category of unsupported supernatural claims, not in the category of things that are worshipped.
Look this is very simple. If you claim to be an atheist, stay true to the definition of the word Not your reasons.
