I could not be Atheist simply because I adopt the title. Why? because I go against it's key rule. Like wise one can not be consider to be Christian if they inturn follow the rules.
If you wish to call a mormon a christian, then feel free to do so. just know your disregaurd for the rules, will inspire my own disregaurd for the rules.
What other possible definition could you come up with for Christian than one who believes in and follows Christ? How could you possibly show that your definition of Christ and what he taught is the right one?
The definition of atheist is simple: one who does not believe in a god or gods. It isn't a doctrine, just a statement of fact about a person's lack of belief. We may not like irrational non-believers, or think those who believe in reincarnation, ghosts, or esp, are crazy, but they are still by definition atheists.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
