Idk what atheism means to you, you seems to be deriving rediculous interpretations out if the definition
Its seems like to you disbelief in god is not following commands or adhering to a god
Which isn't atheism as it has nothing to do with denying existence of a god
That's the mainstream well understood pretty universal definition idk whats cooking in the cave you came up with that
No im not, and i and others explained it plenty
You literally defined atheism as a rejective retort to the answer "do you believe in a god".
Which is basically the definition with no interpretation expounded from it ie: no explanation
You haven't defined "belief" in an existential sense and you seem to be alluding to rejection of adhering to a god than claiming its existence
You're all over the place
Still not necessarily. . . .
Ok then provide me with an alternative aside from the 2 opinions
What would an atheist (generally regardless of whether they are materialists or not) base their idea of universe and its creation upon? Intelligent being or nature
what other options are there aside from a greater intelligence or natrual causes.
