Hmmmmmmm...........
Berkeley right... Nobody can parse minutia like a denizen of Berkeley.. except maybe some at UCLA..
Very Sarte'ian of you.. or even Kierkegaard'ian..
Actually only Professor Irwin Cory could best that display of circular logic..

http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=atheist
Pronunciation: 'A-thE-ist
Function: noun
: one who believes that there is no deity
The language continues to be twisted.
Like gay = homosexual. When someone writes
An atheist hates anything Christian;
they are not correct.
The English Language does not have a word for
Jesus-hating -- Christian-loathing
Ten-Commandment-trashing ACLU-loving --
anti-religious zealots.
Maybe we could call them HACORs (Hates
Anything Christian Or Religious)
While HACORs may be atheists, they
certainly hate Jesus, Jesus Father,
Christians, evangelicals, the Ten
Commandments, etc.
atheists are only one who believes
that there is no deity. They don't
necessarily hate anything.
Remember C. S. Lewis started out as an atheist.
