Opinion on this Creed

[Wyrd of Gawd]

You can define atheism however you want, and dictionaries differ.

---

The agreed definition in the atheist community is lacking a belief in God, or disbelief in God. We think of them as the same. If you want to use different words for those two things, then fine. But we only need to agree on one set of definitions. I personally like default atheist (has no concept of a god) and cognitive atheist (has heard claims about Gods and doesn't believe them)

"Do you have an active belief in God?"

Yes- Theist
Any other answer- Atheist

It does not necessarily mean you believe there is no God, that is a seperate statement. Is the difference between a weak and a strong atheist. Please see my website for more details (link in signature).

As for the creed, I have not much of an opinion on it. Trying to lump atheists together is a common mistake. There is no atheist belief system.

The French Catholics created the word "atheist" as a curse word to describe the French Protestants who were fighting a series of religious wars to gain freedom of religion in France.  Today it means something entirely different since today's real atheists don't believe in deities whereas the French Protestants actually did believe in the same deity that their Catholic enemies did.  

One thing is for sure: no deity of any kind has ever done anything godly on this planet since the first superstitious twit came up with the idea of a deity.
