Without using the word "faith", can anyone who is a Christian explain to me how they call themselves monotheists when they believe in the divinity of Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit/Ghost. By my count that is 3...possibly 4 gods.
John 14:28: If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
By the way, we are all Atheists, I just believe in one fewer gods than you...Wait, 3 fewer...My bad.

Thank you for defining your faith. Which you are free to do, of course. It's a valid faith, and deserves protection just as other religions do.
Atheist is non-theistic which = non religious, lack of faith...A non-prophet organization.
The statement "I just believe in one fewer gods" is a positive faith assertion. Therefore getting rid of your "lack of faith" part of the definition. It's just one more religious faith.
If you say that you lack belief, you are avoiding religion. But once you assert belief, you are one of the devout.
So I am one of the "devout" because I also assert that the theory of gravity is fact??
However, if you want to call Atheism a religion I am fine with that. I'll start a non-profit Atheist church and all my contributions will be tax exempt!

No, because that assertion does not involve religion-based conjectures. Your faith assertion does.
"owever, if you want to call Atheism a religion"
It's not a matter of me calling it that. It is a matter of Atheists meeting the definition by asserting religious faith.
Well, some Atheists. Some, the more agnostic types, avoid religion by saying that they do not know.
"I'll start a non-profit Atheist church and all my contributions will be tax exempt!"
Sure, go ahead, I will support it. Your rights to preach and proselytize are protected under the First Amendment.
Toad, dmarks is correct. Deal with it. You're asserting your faith to atheism.
But I have no faith...Not in anything that isn't tangible, predictable or measurable.
