Of course, I never instructed people to believe my definition as that would be as hypocritical as the communists. But due to that definition I have of atheism, I put the number of ACTUAL atheists EXTREMELY low in that there is more Jedi than atheists.
Well what I'm getting at is that your definition of atheism, being a personal definition, is about as relevant as your personal definition of Jedi.
If I don't believe in God therefore view the bible as a creation of man to better understand and give order to society, how am I led by God? Hypothetically does that not mean we don't need religion as if I'm led by God without following religion then what's the point of an organised faith?
That's the problem of assuming all 'righteousness' is being laid out by a deity, it takes too much power away from the individual for self introspection on the nature of right and wrong and undermines organised faith if we can all be led this way.
You're not being led by God in the traditional Christian sense. You are, in part, a product and beneficiary of the morality God has imparted into the world, so He is indirectly influencing you. All the true goodness and moral fiber in your life comes from the divine, all the chaos, disorder, and misconceptions comes from corruption. Unfortunately we are often ignorant of which is which.
