Given the length and complexity of the discussion here Im not sure I understand what we are talking about now So sorry please bear with me Are we talking about replacing the first paragraph of the lead with the single sentence Atheism is the position that deities do not exist with the subsequent paragraphs of the lead as is Would we then modify the existing first paragraph to be in effect a new second paragraph outlining the three forms or would we drop it entirely Im receptive to a shortandsweet first sentence so long as the lead section as a whole goes on to cover the three definitions of long standing But I suspect that other editors may object
