Creation & EvolutionForum for the discussion of this important topic. This forum is open to non-believers. There is a Christians-only forum in the Christians-only section too.
Defining the word atheism as "a belief that a god or gods don't exist, insofar as they might," is not a useful definition.
How about -- "The lack of belief in a Supreme Being/Deity"?

To them, you're just a freak, like me! They need you right now, but when they don't, they'll cast you out, like a leper! You see, their morals, their code, it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these... these civilized people, they'll eat each other.
See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve.

So an atheist is one who believes in 0 gods --- is that correct?
Works for me, but that's just my singular opinion.

Not good enough.
What if one believes in a pantheon of deities, where each one is equal to the other, and none stand out as 'supreme'?
I think the only definition for the word 'atheism' that respects all of its parts (prefix, root word, and suffix) is: The belief that there are no god or gods.
