Atheism

[Retorth]

The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. 2000.

atheist: One who disbelieves or denies the existence of God or gods.

atheism:
1a. Disbelief in or denial of the existence of God or gods. b. The doctrine that there is no God or gods.

2. Godlessness; immorality.

Godlessness I agree with, for obvious reasoning, but immorality? That is utter rubbish. This has the potential for another debate extension lol

"Immorality without religion"

Whatever the case may be, 4 out of the 5 dictionary examples you provided defined Atheist accurately, in that an atheist is one who denies the existence of god, not that he "believes there is no god" because, like Darwinian said earlier, to "believe" is to carry the burden of proof, in this case that god does not exist, to which does not exist because Atheists in fact simple disbelieve any existence whatsoever to begin with.

4 out of 5 ain't bad
