OK, I want to start off by sdmitting that I am a liberal atheist. HOWEVER, before you block me hear me out (I AM NOT A TROLL). There are many conservatives who are embarrased by this site (I will provide links if you wish), and I really feel that if you could provide more rational arguments then you would bemore likely to win people over. I really feel that quite possibly this could be a great site, just as long as you were more honest about your bias, and there are several hypocrisies (if you want, I'll point them out Andy). I'm sure I'll get blocked for this, but I promise I'm not trolling, I'm being honest about my political views and am genuinely trying to help you. So ''please'' don't block me, I come in peace :)

**A problem with the definition of atheism stated**
if atheism is defined as the "Denial of the existence of God", it begs the question, which god? This definition seems to presume the existence of a monotheistic god, which not all theists believe in. For example, Hindus and to an extent, Muslims, believe in a different god than Christianity. So if "God" means the monotheistic Judeo-Christian god, then doesn't this definition mean that Hindus are atheists? This would also mean that pagans, Hindus, and those who believe in several gods are all atheists. I think this is a huge problem with the definition you've stated, so I think that should be revised. Just my two cents on the matter, I mean, it doesn't really make sense to call a Hindu or a pagan an atheist, does it?
