A lot of this has to do with the fact that what we call atheists are just metaphysical naturalists. Atheism is a VERY bloated word that means a lot more than what it sounds and at the same time means less than what it sounds.
For example, try spotting the actual definition versus the bloated definitions:
*A person who does not believe in a deity's existence.
* a person who believes there is no god. Is very immoral because he/she wants to be and lives a depraved life.
*A person who knows there is a god yet denies him. Is a liberal or some sort of communist who wishes to destroy American and makes us all gay.
