    I've not given an interpretation. I've given the plain english crystal clear words of the definition.

    you've been corrected enough times on my position that you are intentionally lying about it.

    As I have corrected you dozens of times, you are intentionally lying about my position.

    Atheism remains, by definition, not a religion. In the exact same way not playing baseball isn't a sport.

    compared to atheist whim trying to dictate morality, and using guns to do it

    religion does not dictate morality, morality dictates religion.

    I have shown you wrong. Atheists believe there is no God. It has nothing to do with lack of belief

    It misstates the definition. Atheists have a belief.

    and the laughable irony of course is that when atheists dictate their morals its not religion, in their opinion! :psychoitc:

    you have not corrected anyone, if your claim is even true in the first place, you have never given a straight answer regarding how much belief that you believe you lack?

    I've shown him wrong countless times over my time here, even directly refuted his baseball argument, yet he keeps repeating it (a fallacy in and of itself). He completely rejects logic.

    He thinks that there is such a thing as "the" dictionary definition, as if there is only one dictionary. He also regards "the dictionary" as the authoritative source of a word definition, thus further rejecting logic (as well as philosophy).

    Like I've said to you before, you are making a false equivalence fallacy here. You are attempting to equate theism and religion. They are NOT the same thing.

    Theism is the belief that god(s) exist.
    Religion is an initial circular argument with other arguments stemming from it.

    Theism is a religion, but religion is NOT theism.

    IF you would argue in the following manner, then your comparison would be correct...

    [a non-sport] IS NOT [a sport].
    [non-theism] IS NOT [theism].


    However, you do not use the word theism in your comparison. You, instead, make use of the word religion, as if it were equivalent to theism. Your argument does not follow, as shown below...

    [a non-sport] IS NOT [a sport].
    [non-theism] IS NOT
    [religion].

    The red text is where your reasoning is in error, and where your comparison fails, since you switch terminology (from "theism" to "religion"), attempting to equate the two terms.

    While theism IS indeed one of many religions, religion is NOT reducible to simply being theism...

    There is no such thing as "the dictionary". There are many dictionaries, and they often contradict each other. Dictionaries are NOT an authoritative source of word definitions. False Authority Fallacy.

    No, I refuted that assertion the first time you made it. Atheism means the lack of belief in a god or gods. It is by definition not a belief or a religion. Deal with it.

    Because as I’ve shown you, they don’t believe there is no god. They lack belief in the existence of a god.

    Are you actually mocking the use of a double negative in his post? Is that what you are doing here?
