Is there such a thing as an Atheist?

I decided to soften the title down from my original concept, “There is No Such Thing as an Atheist.”  It’s not my intention to be polemical, or I should perhaps say it is my intention to not be polemical.

When I was quite young, maybe 7 or 8, I said “perhaps” and one of my classmates asked me what that meant.  I said “maybe.”

Anyway.

Here is the essay then: it depends on what you mean by God.

This is actually going somewhere.
