Have you ever heard of Carvaka? Do you know Hinduism accommodates atheism as well?

I have heard of this but they were interesting articles and thanks for the links.
I think the thing that bothers me about this is...it's sort of "conversion via redefinition."
Atheism literally means "without belief in god". It seems unfair to redefine what god means and say "you believe in THAT don't you? Then you believe in god!"

You should, perhaps, revist the actual meaning of the term atheism.
From a theistic point of view and atheist is a part of theism, in as much as they are part of creation.
Atheism, on the other hand, accepts nothing of essential presuppositions of theism.

If there is a God, I don't think that he cares if we believe or not. Most souls will cross over and it has nothing to do with religion or God.
