Default Re: Atheism doesn\'t have to be a belief!

When a word uses all value in a particular context because a large group decides to use it to conflate distinct groups, I figure it's useless. The word "belief" is meaningless to me. It's completely fine to say that a dismissal of hearsay for lack of evidence is actually a belief in something, but equating that with the acceptance of a theory that is in direct violation of reality is absurd.

Yeah, I know... that's what I believe. And that's why the word means nothing.
