Is atheism a belief system in someway?

[Whateverist]

Perhaps, the atheist members would understand this frustration if Christians demanded denominational specificity. Do Frodo, Drich, GodsChild, Rondee, or I insist that everyone define Christianity as merely the belief that “Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior?” We share that essential belief, even if we disagree on particulars.

Our situation seems pretty similar then. If there is one thing you can count on it is that no atheist believes in a god. Pretty much the polar opposite of your xtian caucus. The particulars for us play out in terms of the strength and nature of belief in whatever it is we think a god refers to.

Think about how frustrating it would be for atheist members if the Christians constantly objected to the use of the word ‘Christian’ as shorthand for the specific doctrines an atheist wanted to critique.

That's pretty much my situation. I have no idea what any of you mean regarding the gods you are devoted to. I have my theories but I find the concept of 'god' to be entirely vacuous. As undefinable as it is unsupported.

In one thread these sophists will take clearly antitheistic stances and on another thread retreat into agnostic atheism to avoid a critique that clearly applies to their brand of atheism. And that should piss off everyone, atheist and believer alike.

Yep, it is probably a measure of our annoyance but I won't deny it.
