The following dictionary has words such as "a?tobiografio" and

And?

The whole unique benefit of Esperanto is the small size of its
vocabulary, without any loss to the range of ideas that can be
expressed, /

There's also a rule that any internationally used words are also
Esperanto, after fitting them into its morphology etc.

yet here we have words imported from the Romance languages
for meanings that could be expressed with the morphemes in the
original specification.

Esperanto for god is 'dio', for example, not "te".

So atheist = maldikredantulo.
So what?
