Yes, silly you.
The Ancient Romans coined the term 'atheism' to define Christians because they didn't worship the Roman deities.
Looks like you need to have a talk with the ancient Romans. According to them, you are misusing the term.
Yes, silly you.
By the way, Noah Webster was an Evangelical Christian. In the preface of his original editions he wrote,
"In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed... No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people. "
If you find an old edition of Webster's dictionary, atheism is defined as 'Godlessness'.
So, after you take it up with the Romans, you can have a word with Webster himself.
Why do you insist on using incorrect definitions, Vinny?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
