I've no wish to get into word games but, if we compare a definition of atheism from dictionary.com with oxford we can see why theists like to use it as their go to dictionary to cherry pick meanings.

the doctrine or belief that there is no God. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/atheism

Disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods. http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/defini...sh/atheism

Like I said, its almost as if dictionary.com has been made to help theists bullshit everyone. And its a crap dictionary for this reason.

Edit. This was an easy example because I've had so many theists try to dishonestly pretend this narrow definition is the only definition, because dictionary.com says so, so many times in the past.
