And the source is........
It all depends on where a person believes that the source of wisdom resides. If the source of wisdom or truth is believed to originate from human wisdom (within oneself) then and only then can the claim be made that an atheist can determinethe truth and relevance of God, by definition. If, however, and as in times past, God is assumed to be an absolute value and an absolute truth (as well as the source of wisdom and reality) then an atheist simply believes in no such definition.
