  No problem, It’s interesting how differently the terms are used within and outside of the atheist community. I think it’s also important to realize that most Atheists are going to have more certainty when it comes to a specific God not existing, compared to the general concept of a God. It’s much more likely that some kind of God exists than the specific one of a given religion exists. Like I would personally put the general idea of a God existing at maybe 50% (like a God who created the universe and let nature take its course), but the specific God of a given religion that listens to your prayers at near 0%.

  Antitheist is one term, I think the more common one in the same area would be Gnostic Atheist, which given my definitions from before would claim knowledge that gods don’t exist.

  As with anything there are always more sub categories, some go as far as to say knowledge of God is unknowable, or that no form of a God exists, but most seem to stick with Agnostic Atheist, or just Atheist.

  At least among most Atheists it’s defined as lack of belief. It’s also arguably the most correct definition based on the parts of the word itself.

  Theist is usually defined as “with belief”, so it makes sense that A-theist means without belief. Adding that A to another word usually means without, like asymptomatic (without symptoms) or amoral (without morals).

  The same thing can be said with Agnostic, Gnostic is with knowledge, A-gnostic is without knowledge.

  Agnostic/Gnostic answers the question of “do you have knowledge that a God exists”. Atheist/Theist answers the question of “do you have belief that a God exists”.

  I think calling Atheism a religion does degrade its value. It brings atheism into the same category as religion, it promotes the idea that atheists need just as much faith as religious people, it basically turns science into a religion.

  Just to be clear, I define Atheism as “without belief in a God”, that would include anyone saying they are agnostic.

  Based on their rules, they might ban content of that nature being talked about in their own communities. However they have a high bar for defederating from other instances. Even if piracy talk isn’t allowed on lemm.ee communities, they won’t defederate from communities that do allow it. This means you can still see it when browsing lemm.ee, but it’s hosted somewhere else.

  What lemmy.world has done is make it so you can’t see anything from those piracy instances when browsing from Lemmy.world. lemm.ee will allow you to see almost anything besides truly disturbing and illegal stuff like porn of the underage variety.

  Being for the idea of free speech, where everyone can speak, is not the same as the right to free speech.

  Personally I would prefer everything be available with one account and I could choose what I block. Sometimes I want to see what the other side is saying, and sometimes I want to block certain groups and never see them again. I want to be well informed of what the other side thinks and why they think it, even if I don’t agree with it.

  I’ve been buying the galaxy line of phones for a while now, currently have an S21U. I’ve never seen ads on the lock screen before. It doesn’t completely surprise me though, my Samsung TV does have some movie and TV ads on the home screen, just like my Roku and most streaming apps now.
