    You can call or not call them whatever you wish, but it doesn't mean it's true.
    It's not my meaning. The definition of an atheist is someone who doesn't believe in god. If someone believes in God, they aren't an atheist. That's not really debatable...it's just a fact.

    Pull that from a dictionary? Dictionaries are not prescriptive. You just want to end discussion. Why not find another thread?

    You mean like communists and their millions of murders? Sure, but they didn't lack faith so much as, as do lefties almost universally, despise any social institution, like religion, that stands between the people and the state and resists tyranny.

    Do you hope that if you repeat yourself enough everyone will give up and go home? Do you ever go beyond making mere claims, do you ever argue a point? Rhetorical.

    I don’t know how anyone could argue to the contrary.
