Anyway, yes, when the word is used in that metaphorical way, it can be used to apply to anything, which means that usage is irrelevant to the subject of this thread. I just assumed you were smart enough to know that and weren't a troll. Guess I was wrong on one of those fronts.
yeah, read the new disclaimer, bud!

So how does metaphorically describing a set of people with a shared standard of beliefs/ethics in the context of food, or the like, equate to true but not describing atheists who are also a set of people with shared standards of beliefs and ethics not equate to true? That's the part I'm having trouble understanding...mainly because the two separate sets of standards being mixed to apply as tests for validity.

I don't get how a shared set of beliefs and ethics is only true in a metaphorical sense but not a literal sense when it comes to describing the atheist demographic? Explain your rationale there.

And nothing about the CIA World Factbook??

cool!
