That's your take on it, but what's observed is something else. But if it's simply "non-belief" then by what belief can you invalidate someone else? You're not making sense. You are your version of atheism and someone else is their version. If you think your version is special, then think it's special. Version #2, #3, #4 probably think their version is equally special.

You seem to be of the opinion that saying "that's just your take" turns everything into a wash, Max. You're wrong..and this stands as a case in point about how, between two people, one of them actually can be wrong and so everything isn't actually a wash.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

By the fact that's what it is nothing more .
Quote: You're not making sense.
Makes perfect sense
Quote:You are your version of atheism and someone else is their version.
Nope because their are no versions and people say their are are not atheists
Quote: If you think your version is special,
It's not special it's right

One person saying "you're wrong" doesn't validate an argument anymore than another person saying "you're wrong."
Definitions in society that have legality behind them and are necessary for a society to function do have validity, because we have to observe them even if we don't agree with them. So him saying "you're wrong" to it doesn't hold weight. If someone says they are an "atheist" and believes they are an "atheist" then they have any and all legal protections applied to that belief. It doesn't mean he can't believe his version is correct, but it only applies to himself or anyone else who adheres to that viewpoint. It can't invalidate other atheists and their right to declare themselves atheists or to be recognized as such.

Yup and atheism is already defined regardless of societies opinions

Nope the term atheist applies to every atheist your either fit it or you don't

They can declare themselves anything they like if they don't fit they aren't atheist they aren't atheists. They can call themselves a fruit roll up it doesn't make them one .
