Observations On Atheism Part II - God And The Bible

IF your definition of a god is "anything venerated" then yes the label atheist is wrong. But is it wrong for me to say I do not believe in the God of a Christian?

The point is why would you? You (meaning atheist in general) don't believe in Santa Clause and yet would not think twice in propagating the myth of Santa and Xmas.

We have a strong opinion of someone elses beliefs, regardless of truth value, when those beliefs begin to impact our lives.

Exactly. You don't care about what to you seems a myth (the Bible and God) you have the strong opinion on the social and political effects.

Xians as well as atheists themselves seldom realize this or at least they don't seem to address it.
