Could it be that the philosophers are wrong with their definitions?
All I know is that I actually loathe philosophy. Had several classes in college, and found them terribly boring. They always seemed to devolve into masturbatory discussions about words, finding distinctions without meaning. An over analysis of things that don't actually matter, in most cases.
To that end, I could really give a shit with what some philosophers say atheism is. I know what I do and don't believe, and if that doesn't fit the term, all that means is that I need to find a new word for it. It says nothing about the veracity of my belief system.
