Fundamentalism and Intellectualism

[Nathan Poe]

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"?

 

[Nathan Poe]

So an atheist is one who believes in 0 gods --- is that correct?

Works for me, but that's just my singular opinion.

How about -- "The lack of belief in a Supreme Being/Deity"?

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.
