Here's the part where you shove your other foot in your mouth; I'm not religious. Not even slightly. But you know, keep making assumptions. Like the ones where you assume Atheism and Agnosticism are the same thing.

Atheism is the belief that no god exists.

There, I backed you up, buddy.

Definitions are arbitrary.

That seems to have been misunderstood in this thread. If you, and others, define atheism as the belief that no gods exist then any arguments you make about atheism would operate under the assumption.

If I, and others, operate under a separate definition of atheism - let's suppose it is the skeptical response to the theistic claim, then we are operating under a different idea when we elucidate.

For instance, I find your definition to be reductionist nonsense reserved solely for positive atheists and mutually exclusive to negative atheists. It's a way of pretending there are fewer atheists on the planet to fuel the delusion that it's such a minuscule subset of humanity who obtains such enlightenment.
