Opinion on this Creed

[KevinM1]

Something written and edited by actual philosophers would be a good start.  I have quoted from the two most prominent encyclopedias of philosophy.  You have given me nothing in return.  Given your logic, theists could simply define their position as, "The true belief that God exists" and then say, "See!  God does exist!".  No, that is not how it works, atheists try to redefine the word atheism because they are trying to avoid sharing the burden of proof, unfortunately for them it simply does not work that way.  Once you have heard the concept of a god, you now either put forth positive belief or disbelief in this god, there is no longer a lack of belief.  I ask you to please demonstrate that groups of people are allowed to redefine the meanings of words for the purpose of personal gain.  If a married man thinks he is a bachelor it does not make it so.

Of course there is.  My lack of belief stems from my disbelief in every god presented to me so far.  However, I reserve the right to change my mind if exposed to new evidence.

Really, if you're going to play word games, you might want to understand the words you're using.  Disbelief doesn't somehow negate a lack of belief.  It often informs it.  Moreover, you haven't explained why anyone should give a crap about a/an encyclopedia(s) written and/or edited by philosophers.  Just because they state the definition is something doesn't make it so.  I'm not convinced of their authority on the issue.

To use your marriage/bachelor analogy correctly, perhaps the definition of marriage is incomplete if most/all bachelors actually claim they're married....  Of course, your analogy fails anyway because, as I said before, disbelief and a lack of belief are not diametrically opposed terms.

But, please, continue to flail at definitions as though you actually have a point.  It's amusing.
