Not really, if you're a liberal individualist, you view liberty as non-intervention while a personalist might agree with interventions.

We have a semantic difference in that we're talking abt same thing using different words. Let's not argue definitions.

I think semantics are very important, because it is the cause of miscommunication.

That is akin to conceptual relativism, it stifles rather than promotes dialectical debate. It is a good start to ask why we think different.

No, its not. If someone means 'lacking belief in God' by atheism and someone else 'claims to know God not to exist' they can still talk

I think that is already the wrong, superficial outlook of debate. More than a decade of New Atheism brought zero progression.

That's because the debate is transcendent absolute morality vs. individual relative morality. That's the real collision of world views.

What debate is? Where are you going now? Sorry. Every conversation with you seems to be absolutely pointless. Discussion needs structure.
