Ok, well I'm glad you understand the definition of atheism then Jon 
- sorry for misunderstanding you.
Now - my main problem with your arguments now, to sum it up...is that my problem is definitely with this notion of subjective views=all views are equal.
Now, to each person they are, because it's subjective in that sense.
But that doesn't mean that some things aren't more evident than others. Objective truth still exists on the outside, in the real world...stuff either is or isn't, things either do or don't exist....discovering whether they exist or not is ultimately through a very strong ultimately subjective consensus yes - but on the whole it's said to be objective. It doesn't have to be absolute because there is a difference between 'objective' and 'absolute', these words are not identical. There are degrees of 'objectivity' - not the case with 'absolute'. So this 'strong conseusus' is ultimately subjective because no one is perfect, and even the best science around can still be wrong. But it's not as though none of this counts just because people can disagree with their own subjectivity!!
