The first dictionary definition of atheism I found on Google comes from 'Oxford Languages':


a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods.
"he is a committed atheist""

'Or lacks belief'covers it, methinks.

I haven't stated how much I know about the origin of the universe and haven't suggested that I know more than you, old fruit. I don't have a problem in not knowing some things that seem unfathomable at this time. I just don't believe many of the Iron Age and Bronze Age explanations for such things.

We both know that dogmatic is used in a wider context than just regarding things theological and I have explained that my view on such things is not unchangeable, as I have explained. I don't tell other people what to think (including my religious friends) but I am happy explaining why I'm not religious.

Rather than the ad hominem stuff and discussing the different meaning of words (very important, I grant you) would you like to tell us about your world view (as mine is non-commital)? If not, and you want it to remain personal, I do understand.

I have no need to lock horns with you for the sake of it.
