Right - so atheism is by something people can value and it can't be important in someone's life.

I'll just leave this debate and direct you to Stanford OEP which shows clearly that in philosophy there is a clear definition for English speaking philosophers regarding belief "holding something to be true".

You may wish to reject this mainstream definition but you will be departing from mainstream English speaking philosophy by using your definition which doesn't make sense in everyday language ( e.g. "I know I am 28 but I don't believe I am 28").

I'm not demanding you 'fall in line' with academic philosophers but Id advise you get to know why this definition has generally be chosen above the rest.

Peace m8!

I've not put atheism as a value system - that would be stupid..

But I'm that kinda crazy guy that believes a person can value it and know that they are agnostic regarding god something.

This knowledge can lead to action.

Deny it if you wish.
