Anybody can say whatever they like about what they personally think "atheism" means, but atheists say it means a lack of belief in gods. Do WE let THEM tell us what Christianity means? If not, why should THEY let US define what atheism means? Sorry, but if we want to argue against their point of view we need to let them state what that point of view actually is. --[[User:SamCoulter|SamCoulter]] 01:08, 14 September 2011 (EDT) | | ::::"A-" Without.
