and 'atheism' is one of them. Like what a 'Christian' is, its open to some interpretation, but if you don't believe Jesus existed, you really can't be one, because its essentially based on the life of Christ, whatever you may believe about his ultimate nature. And yes, I read what you posted. Interesting, but still, all atheism is based on a lack of belief, whether weak or strong. Its defined by a negative not a positive, which is my original point.
