Hi atheists, how do you define existence?

On the issue God exists or not, before anything else all humans must concur on what is existence.

I am theistic and I define existence as reality.

What about you atheists, how do you define existtence?

Would that not be just another word for the same thing , not a definition ? Reality = existence.
In case you haven’t realized it. Your definition of existence nullifies your earlier definitions of god.
If god is a spirit, if god is beyond space and time, then god does not exist in what we define as reality.
The Theme of the “Matrix” is reality is not what we believe it to be. It is however reality to those within it. Only someone who can enter or leave it can tell the difference.
Existence is not limited to the reality we know. We can’t see most of the universe, but we can have confidence that what we can’t see obeys the same laws of physics that we observe. No reason to assume otherwise.
Gods defy everything we observe in physics, which should be impossible in our reality. You can’t have it both ways.
So, how do you account for it ?
