It seems my last video has caused a bit of a minor shit storm with some people who took personal umbrage with my not accepting the more broad colloquial definition of the word "atheist". I want to know from people who self identify as atheist how they infer to word to mean by their usage and what do they think the word means in a more scholastic setting.

I hold that "atheism" is a form of non-theism and that non-theism is the more broader group that includes anyone ho is not a theist. I maintain that atheism is the rejection of god or Gods, not just lack of belief.

I was going to make a video about this, but figured would make it a hangout as it is a popular topic and hasn't been addressed in a while.
