I can read it just fine and nice ad hominem attack there (hint - it is not a synonym for "insult".
Apparently not with understanding.
Let's add "ad hominem" to the list of things you know not the meaning of.

I didn't say they were I'm saying you are.
Wrong. I am agnostic on the issue of monist materialism vs. dualism.

That's all atheism is so that's all you have to do.
Please. Go tell a group of atheist Taoists and atheist Buddhists that they are monist naturalists. We'll wait.

Yes it is unless you want to believe something else like Buddhism, Taoism, fucking Wicca or whatever.
Listen up very carefully. I am an atheist. I am not a monist naturalist.

Unsuprisingly, aheism equals atheism, the position of not believing in any deities - which also, apparently unknown to you, does not preclude beliefs in other non-material things.

Except that I don't, and it's not.

Quote:There are atheists who are naturalists, and those that are not.
All atheists are naturalists unless they are something else at which point they are called something else. Yes not all religions are based on Monotheism there are alternatives but none of them are naturalists.
More reading comprehension fail.
...and despite dozens of atheists telling you that your concept of atheism is wrong, you persist in telling us what it is. I wouldn't dream of telling you what Christianity is, so please - fucking stop.
You're apparently under the mistaken impression that atheism is a worldview. It is not. It is a negative answer to the question "Do you believe in deities?" and nothing more, no matter how badly you want it to be something else.
