Can I? Yes. Will I? No. This go-round seems increasingly silly and strange to me. What is your point with this?
Well, you're asking a question addressed to a group of people who you won't define.
When you say "not doing research", I'm guessing you're meaning "non-scientists", as though the "materialists" you refer to are usually part of a group that draws from non-supernatural assumptions in scientific methodology. But then there's "materialism as a total belief system" (it seems) as well as non-scientist philosophers who operate within a framework they call materialism.
Is this guy a "materialist"?
I am utterly convinced that the universe is made of mathematics and that the concept of physical reality is incoherent.
Now you say you can define "materialists, the people" but will not. It seems that's partially true, if what you mean by "materialists" is just your personal stereotype of "closed-minded skeptics", and you'd prefer to just call them "materialists", regardless of the accuracy of the term.
