No, like how you get to decide what an atheist is.

Actually, at this point, I'm not even sure what an atheist looks like - considering that I can't even be sure that I've encountered any.

Or have you read a history book anywhere in your life?

Plenty. In fact, I've even browsed through some of the Greek classical stuff - you know, the works we only have thanks to Irish monks and Islamic scholars?

It's funny, because yet again you find yourself in the position to define who is and is not an atheist. Hey guys we don't need a dictionary to dictate how I personally define my beliefs, just ask this guy.

Again, no answers, just reflections

*Edit, I'm sorry my bad, there was a response in there. Good that you know History. So you have plenty of examples of religion being abused by people to do evil. So now you're asking me for examples, except this whole thing started with an example straight out of the box.
