I don't know, I have a crazy idea, you know, and I'm just spitballing here, that we should ask people what they think and not shove a dictionary in their face and tell them this is what you should be believing. Maybe you should put the dictionary down and ask self-described "atheists" what they do and don't believe.

And just maybe, I know this sounds crazy, if every self-described atheist rejects that definition of their beliefs, that perhaps the dictionary may have either gotten it wrong or needs to be updated.

In any event, my statement stands that IF that's your definition, I would guess that there are no atheists in the world then.

How old are you?
