ChrisJones 7,975 Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Like you said, here mate, it's all about interpretation! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGD 6,436 Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Read the second to last bud, dont shoot the messanger. I assume you mean "a pursuit or interest followed with great devotion" (it's hard to tell with the way you've spread your answer across multiple posts) now sure that may apply to a very small minority of atheists but for the majority atheism is simply a lack of belief in God, it's not a pursuit or interest at all and certainly not one followed with "great devotion" Try again?
