The Definition of Atheism

Since theists have begun to expose atheism as a belief system, and since we are incredibly insecure with the fact that we follow a belief system, we must now redefine the meaning of atheism. Now, we must give up the old "Default stance" argument, since that has been proven time and again to be unscientific, and we must now redefine atheism as a lack of a belief.

Now, don't think this changes anything. We can still declare that God does not exist, and that anybody who thinks He does is a delusional, insane, stupid idiot, but this time, when they (the theists) call us out, we can simply state "We don't believe anything, therefore we don't have to prove anything!"

This keeps the burdon of proof (Which we can't hold) on the theists, and keeps us from looking like we believe something. And, when a theists shows us that modern psychology proves that there is no such thing as a lack of belief, we will simply compare belief in God to belief in Santa Claus and act like asantaclausism is a lack of a belief, even though it isn't, and we will win.

So remember, atheism = lack of belief. As such, we are still allowed to insult and mock Christians and Christianity, assert that God does not exist, make unvarifiable assumptions about life and the universe, and we simply have to say "We don't believe anything" in the face of modern psychology, and there we go. Atheists win.

Yeah! Down with those defective christmongers!! Atheism's our word, we can define it however we want. And anyway, how the place-that-isn't-real-take-that-you-dumb-brainwashed-theists-ha-ha-ha-ouch-i-think-i-hurt-myself could we--you know, the brilliant luminaries of reason and freethought--ever have anything to defend? I mean, duh, we're critical thinkers, so we criticize everything. Except, you know, like evolution and the christ-myth and the works of almighty John Locust and our non-presuppositions (because only theists have presuppositions, that's why they're retarded. we're devoid of dogma, we get to be objective). So right on!
