using the word heretic to describe an atheist. It’s just not what it’s about. You’re not part of a theistic religion if you don’t believe in God. And if you’re not part of it, you won’t be a heretic.
Atheism is contrary to theistic religious doctrine- namely, the doctrine that a god or gods exist. That’s literally the definition of heresy as I provided.
ok man, I tried, the dictionary was of no help, maybe consult wikipedia or turn to a priest. He will also tell you that an atheist is not considered a heretic. And if you go on like this with him, he’ll might make you a heretic. But only! if you are a follower of his religion already. Otherwise he just won’t give a flying fuck.
oh, rarely really seen somebody contradict themselves so blatantly with their source. how come?
Where is the contradiction? Do you think a belief contrary to religious doctrine has to be religious?
Yes, cause that’s what the dictionary means: belief contrary to the doctrine of the religious system the belief is embedded in.
Like the doctrine that a god exists?
Of course you can come up with your own definition of words.
What definition am I coming up with here?
Are you saying the existence of a god is not part of the doctrine of any theistic religion?

Again, what definition am I coming up with here?

What did I invent?
