That is not the definition of Creationist, that would include EVERYONE who was not an Atheist. A Creationist is someone who believes in a LITERAL account of Genesis.

I have no antipathy for the Bible. My antipathy is those who engage in lies, distortions, and historical revisionism. And I never said the Bible was "junk", that is your straw-man that you insist on beating up because it is they are the only blows you can possibly land, as you don't' have a leg to stand on other than a definition of Creationist so broad that it includes everyone who isn't' an Atheist, including me.

What God does a Deist believe created the universe? NOT the God of the Bible. They are therefore NOT Creationists.

I did not concoct this definition myself, to please myself. I used the accepted meaning of a word as it has been understood in the West since the 1840s (according to the OED). If anyone is performing innovations on language, I'd say it would be you, USCB, not me. FWIW
