Atheism is NOT a LACK of Belief. SORRY, Atheists!

Atheists tell us that atheism is merely a lack of belief. But are they right? After all, if you really wanna know how words, including atheism, are conventionally understood, you look it up in a dictionary. The definition of atheism is a perennial issue in YouTube apologetics and debates between Christians and atheists. This is why I have dedicated a whole trilogy to this topic. For this second video in the series, I have looked at the definition of the word “atheism” in 47 dictionaries from 16 different languages, together with a bunch of awesome friends around the world. So, get ready, watch, and let me know what you think in the comment section.

CHINESE:
The counterpart of Wikipedia in China is Baidubaike (baidupedia). Due to the censorship and the difference in national ideology, the content of a same item, e.g. Korean War, may vary largely from Wikipedia to baidupedia. However, the definition of atheism, which has no political colour, is roughly the same on both websites.
Here is the link of the definition of atheism on baidupedia:
