Many on-line atheists are "lacktheists", claiming that atheism is "a mere lack of belief in God or gods". This is obviously not the case, and "lacktheism" isn´t therefore a serious definition, let alone an argument. It´s a rhetorical strategy, period. Therefore it will collapse the moment the opponents of "lacktheism" will develop a more efficient rhetoric.
Perhaps asking the "lacktheists" if they believe that non-human animals, plants and rocks are atheists might do the trick? I mean, a rock does lack a belief in God (as far as we know). Wondering aloud if they are Santa Claus agnostics might be worth a try, too.
If "lacktheism" makes you look silly, these monetized midwits will drop it faster than you can click "non helpful" on a YouTube video! You read it here first.
