atheism can not possibly be handled like definition. its a choice.
you are not born atheistic, and then labeled by others.
you buy into the atheistic believe, or you don't.
so its believe and identification, that makes an atheist. not a definition.
if atheism is defined by me, and i say they are identified with irrational believe, and you say all who are matched by a definition are just that, then i can group them all day long. but is was still their choice to be that.
.
so, the point is, that we disagree about wheter atheism must involve irrational believe and identification (hence about the definition)
