I don't mean to be hijacking this thread discussing your signature but I wanted to add one more point. I do understand where you are coming from but to say that you understand that your definitions are not correct and still use them anyway is spreading false information about what it is to be atheist. Many Christians actually believe that your definition is in fact the true definition of Atheist and when they see your sig it only further supports their misunderstanding of what it is to be Atheist. Whether you are Christian, Atheist, or Wiccan we should try to adhere to not spreading false information.
