Excuse me, sir, but your definition of atheism '''fails to account for those who believe in other gods besides our own'''.  If you say that atheism itself is denial of God's existence, '''you're saying that all Hindus, Muslims, Atenists, Sabians, Tengrists, Bábists, Tenriists, Rastafarians, Sikhists, and even the Bahá'í faith, who worship a non-Biblical God or gods, are all atheists, which we know is simply not true'''.  Not to mention that you have an article explicitly stating that [[Atheism is a religion]], so telling me that making edits based on the exact principles you teach does not make any sense to me.

Yes, I can say that atheists deny the existence of anything spiritual (And could you please stop saying "atheists/agnostics" like they're one and the same?  They're '''not the same'''.).  Buddhists say they do not believe in any God or gods, but they do believe that nature itself has a spiritual aspect where most atheists and agnostics disagree.  Likewise, the Jain religion teaches the existence of souls, but not believing in God does not automatically make them atheists.  I studied comparative religion for a time in college, so I know that the concept of religion is not as black-and-white as this Website would have one believe.
