That's... you've just rejigged the "lack of belief in god," principle that I already accepted was there. Is this just how this is going to go? Am I going to have to go through every linguistic permutation of this concept and list them as single principles?
In that case, we also don't have no disbelief in a god, either.
Er, no. The method of doubt is a thing. And I said that lack of belief in God is not enough for 'atheism' as religion, like anything else, comes out of the everyday. So if you don't happen to believe in God, you might be predisposed to God or about to invent one, or believe in any number of superstitions that makes crossing over into theism a trifle. A simple fact of lack of belief may make us point to someone and say 'atheist', but only because 'atheist' has its meaning grounded in principles such as (and particularly) the scope and validity of the method of doubt.
And so on.

I think he gave it away with his comment about god not being just a concept because it was important to other people. He just outed himself as a Postmodernist. he probably took some classes in some postmodern studies and now believes the woo nonsense contained therein. Part of their nonsense is that there is no reality and all beliefs are equal and to insist on objective morality is 'Eurocentric' and 'racist'. It informs nonsense like Afrocentrism and Radical ' A+ style' feminism.
Well, your morality certainly seems both racist and sexist. I don't think we need to have any claims about anything as grand as 'objective morality' here as you've managed to out yourself as immoral per se!

I like to make sandwiches. And then I eat them all myself. Yum.
The rational women might be smart enough not to date you?
