All I can say to that is I find that dictionary definition to be outdated. Faith and trust as I described is how the words have been used in every debate I've witnessed. Besides, there are still dictionary definitions of Atheism that are flat out wrong.

It's not outdated; he just chose a different context.

But actually, y'know, on topic, Sabby is right. An absence of belief is not on the same ground as belief. An athiest doesn't necessarily choose to not believe, they often just feel there's no need to. It's not a matter of choice because they don't believe there's actually an option.

Isn't "not making a choice" in itself still a choice?

That's indifference. However it could still be construed as a choice if someones presents the option. Kind of like not having a nose piercing. It's something that none of us thought about getting yet if someone asked why we don't have one it isn't because we choose not to but more so the idea never surfaced in the first place.

Not if you don't think there is a choice.

Not if you don't think there is a choice.

So in other words it narrows down to your own individual point of view?

No, it's the absence of awareness that there's even a choice. That's the opposite of point of view.
