Atheism undergoes more changes than the Theory of Evolution. Who would have figured.So now "atheism" is active disbelief.
It keeps changing shape.

Not quite. It's the people talking about atheism who go thru changes.
Atheism just sits & watches all the drama...serene & unchanging.

Only inasmuch as answering "no" to a simple question constitutes an "activity". Then again, many atheists will never be asked that question. No question, no "active disbelief."

I don't think anyone does. The only person that seems to understand Orias is Orias. We will have to ask him what he means by all of this.

No, but an alien once told me that helium is a good alternative or replacement for oxygen.

Theists might have figured that out, since "God" is probably the shiftiest word in the language.
What we have here is a food fight over a definition. Disputes over language can become very heated. I have heard that a linguist was once executed over some advice he gave to an ex-colonial African nation. They had asked him to decide which regional language should be the official one, and he picked the one with the largest number of speakers. The group in power spoke a different language.

Well those educated about it, know about it.
how does an honest description of your beliefs mean they're in conflict?
It's really all dependent on if you chose to label yourself under a certain denomination of belief. It comes from the origin that, belief is common among the world, as it is built off of personal axioms. Those who chose to follow a certain label subject themselves to hypocrisy, simply because man's belief expands beyond one false principal.

"Deity" is considered religion?
What dictionary is this? The Complete Lexicon of Incorrect Definitions?

I'm neutral about your arguments. They simply aren't logical. That's an observation, not a value judgment.
