They are allowed as a group to define whatever religion they follow, so why can't we as atheists be allowed to define the term we use to describe our position? And even if they won the whole argument then what? The position is unaltered, just under a different name (likely agnostic).Because "a-" and "theist" already mean something. You could call a bunny a rock if you wanted to, but why?
So why should we not be allowed to define the terms we use to identify ourselves, and what is the ultimate point of having said argument in the first place?
