In an earlier blog entry, I found the following statement: "I am not a 'there is no god' atheist, but rather a 'I see no reason to believe there is a god' atheist."

I agree with your position, but it is not atheism.

Atheist: "a person who denies or disbelieves the existence of a supreme being or beings." --dictionary.com

The fact that you admit that there is even a remote possibility that a god or gods may exist makes you an agnostic at the least.

True Atheists believe, without proof, that there is no god or gods, divine or transcendant beings. This is the definition of faith.

If you need evidence (one way or another) before you will accept a conclusion, you are not an atheist, you are an agnostic. Not a bad place to be, by the way.

That said, I agree with nearly everything you write on your web site. I just feel it is my responsibility to inform you of an error in your terminology.

By your own definition, an atheist may be someone who disbelieves the existence of a deity. I disbelieve the existence of a deity because I see no reason to believe in one. I don't think there is any contradiction there.

What you describe as a "true atheists" is what is commonly called a "strong atheist." I agree that strong atheists often are expressing faith, and I would disagree with such an expression.

I do not consider myself an agnostic because I am not undecided and do not think that the existence of a deity is necessarily beyond proof, and I think you probably need to be one of these to describe yourself as an agnostic.
