I actually began giving this topic some deep meaningful thought today as well. The best I've come up with so far is a different question: "Are we nudists or just VERY well behaved exhibitionists and voyeurs?"
I often answer these questions with the general remark that everyone is entitled to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.....as long as it does not infringe upon other's right to the same."
For me, my practice of nudism is basically things I would normally do only naked. But also where it is legally and socially acceptable to be naked. And even when it is legal and socially acceptable to be naked, one must abide by the rules and social etiquette of the location where they are nude.
I think naked and nude are one and the same when it comes to any definition of the word. They both mean the same thing, without clothes on. Just like, what is the difference between a car and an automobile, a pig and a swine, a horse and an equine, a bird and a fowl, a pistol and a hand gun, water and H2O, a nation and a country? Aren't these all examples of differentwords for the same thing? So you could be a nudist or a nakedist, and still be the same thing, just depends on how you want to say it. I don't see any real distinctive difference between the two words, nude and naked. They both mean basically the same thing, and can be used interchangeably. So what's the difference between being nude or naked? Nothing.

Words are about context not simple content.
