That would depend on which gods you disbelieve in
ALL - are you being argumentative for the hell of it or are you really that ignorant of what the term atheist means?
Quote:, and what importance you place in reacting to the fact that some people do believe in them.
None, why should it effect me one iota what other people believe in or not (as long as it doesn't effect me as it would in any "religious" legislation).
Quote:By your definition I'm also a polyatheist
Firstly, it isn't my definition and you would know that if you cared to do one little sliver of research. Secondly, I am glad you realize that you too are an atheist in the sense that you disbelieve in other gods (technically an atheist lacks those beliefs while you actively disbelieve). Now when you are able to understand why you reject those gods, you will understand why I and other atheists do not have a belief in your god. Maybe then you will experience some personal growth and announce your atheism to the world.
