Atheism and morality

[Esquilax]

OK I found an interesting article. perhaps this warrants a new thread.

Some Varieties of Atheism:

William James: There is no atheism, as religion is defined to include any fundamental perspective on life.

a-theism : ‘Narrow’ atheism, involving only the rejection of monotheism.

atheism : ‘Broad’ rejection of the possible
existence of any and all divine (supernaturally
powerful) beings.

At best all that can be said is now we've broadened the scope of one word to be an umbrella over many individual concepts. The thing is, those individual concepts still mean things on their own, so what has actually been accomplished?
