Other atheists simply lack belief in any deity: God, Allah, Zeus, Osiris, Loki, doesn't matter. We aren't claiming positively that they don't exist. We only claim with truth that we personally have no belief in any higher power concept. Using proper English, you are agnostic, not atheist .... please see post 126 for the websters excerpt.

Screw Webster's. There is no authoritative source for the English language. We don't have L'Academie Francaise to tell us what's right.
How about I go tell a soldier fighting in battle that he's lazy, sitting around pretending to do work. Because if you look in a big dictionary that's a definition for "soldier."
Dictionaries are highly fallible in the constantly changing English language.
