And again, lack of belief in deities, on it's own, does not a modern atheist make.


Many buddhists lack belief in deities. It's not proper to call them atheists because that's defining them by their negative beliefs. What's important are their positive beliefs.

That's why you primarily call them buddhists, whether they believe in gods or not, and you call them atheists only when you're trying to be pedantic or apparently in Saya's case, avoid a discussion in Newfoundland.

Now I apologize for being snarky, but this shit is really dumb.
