Athiest means someone that doesn't believe in God

Baba said religion and diety are Mythology and human imaginative construct

What else do you want him to say to help you get it that he thinks God is a myth and a figment of your imagination


"But religion? No I don’t worship any deity. But I consider deities as creatively real and therefore my companions in my journey in both the real world and the imaginative world.”
Simple English comprehension. Yes or no
Did he say he is an atheist?

Only broke ass people think there is a white or Arab god watching them and saving them and yet still leaving them poor.
No wonder 133 million people are believer's in SKY daddy and Sky daddy rewarded them to live in country with most number of poor people grin grin grin grin

Modified

One of the 133 million people.living in multidi.ensional poverty spotted just above me ,
Awaiting g for his SKY daddy to come and save him.

You speak from your perspective and the people around you. There are several billionaires in strong world currencies who ascribe their wealth and riches to this "sky daddy" I actually believe it is "poor people" who deliberate the existence or non existence of God. The rich know their source is GOD!

Wole Soyinka is an evolved SOUL.

Souls who are highly evolved have no need for religion and no need to worship any deity because they intuitively know that 'I and my FATHER are one'. They feel a sense of ONENESS with ALL THAT IS

A mythologist is not necessarily an atheist. All he did was establish that he does not worship a deity. Some mythologist worship deity(ies). undecided

True! The real eyeity that God casted him aside since as God did to Saul, Solomon, Esau etc

We know that people become atheist when they see and real eyes that God would not be having any business with them.

It's just common sense

If someone said I do not eat meat, should you still be asking if the person said he is vegetarian?!

Or If a person says I can not read, should you still be asking if the person is litrate or not

English is your problem

Half literacy is worse than illiteracy

He never said he is an atheist and nothing he said implies that he is.
The fundamental problem is you cannot comprehend simple English

Nothing commonsense about what you claim as it is instead an invalid conclusion which you offer up here. undecided

Buddhists for example do not worship a diety but they are not atheists. undecided

Like I said you haven't applied common sense and am not here to help you reason

Only a child needs to be spoon fed because even an idiot should be able to read between the fine lines

A person calls religion and gods figment of your imagination created in the recess of your own mind to give answers you seek,

Yet you ask if such person believes in a God in another dimension or spiritual world

I think engaging you is pretty useless as people like you need a funnel to feed you information

Religion is the opium of thr masses. Truth be told, if religion is what Nigerians practice, I also don't need any.

No.
We had our spiritual ways, we pray. Organised religion is not what will take you to salvation, truth will.
