Not redefine, I want to position a atheism in a world in which rejection of theism is subject to the same standard of justification as acceptance of theism.
What this amounts to is demanding that atheist rejection of theism proceed along the same lines of rationality, impartial analysis of known facts.
An atheist cannot be a fidist unless an atheist can be a liar.
