I don’t have to devote myself to the definitions of dictionary authors. Each definition is arbitrary to a certain degree. The real problem is that you are petty minded stickler. In sophisticated conversations people use something called ironic exaggeration and other things as a means of rhetoric. That’s what I did. There obviously is a high analogy between “a belief in something that is neither proven nor probably” and a religion. I’m sorry that you didn’t get that.

If you are an atheist it is NECESSIARILY required that you have to BELIVE that the human brain causes consciousness or that you as a person evolved through natural selection. An atheist who believes in souls isn’t an atheist by the common usage of the word.

It knows, it makes damn sure it KNOWS.

I made experiences that showed me that supernatural things exist and that I AM a soul not a brain. But I accept if others do not believe me. I could be more detailed here but I had this kind of discussions many times in my life and I’m not interested in repeating them again and again and again....
