Dear Mr. Ahsan,

We can not change established definitions. Buddha  never rejected God. He also did not say that he was a God appointed prophet. To me, he was a social and spiritual reformer. He was not an atheist. His followers never reject the existence of God.

Besides, you have written that how the Marxists and atheists are non-believers? According to established norms and definitions who so ever does not believe in God is a non-believer, hence they are non-believers. If you insist on giving them the epithet of believers, then you can do so by saying that they believe in no belief. It will be an interesting addition to religious terminology. Thanks.

Sincerely yours,

Dr.Maqsood Jafri
