Oh also... This is not true of aethism either

> the belief in one true way to understand reality

Again, there are no tenants of atheism, no rules, no insistence that there's only one way everyone should define reality. We just don't believe in God and that's the entire thing. Some atheists may think that but I don't and it is not atheism.

We're not in a religion, a club, or anything. I don't get to tell another atheist they're doing it wrong because there's no affiliation between us.

With respect to erikpukinskis' statement, I believe you are trying to, though.

not my intent. I might tell another atheist to go read the definition of the word which is very narrow, but i wont tell them that being an atheist means you have to subscribe to any additional beliefs. that's my point.
s/tenants/tenets, I think you mean.

Meanwhile, enjoy this commentary from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy on the existence of God:

Oops. I have been working on a lot of multitenant applications lately.

Also I don't speak so good.

You believe in one true way to understand what God is.
Ha, no I do not. Defining the one true way is the domain of the religious.
