277. that is the problem
you are being simple.

Apparently you have deemed that theists believe in gods and atheists is the catchall term for everyone else.

Meanwhile, some of us believe that atheist is as specific of a term as theist and describes an ACTIVE belief or an ACTIVE disbelief while agnostic is someone who has NEITHER.

You can keep trying to define the terms in the very narrow fashion you are trying all you want to, but it is not a binary thought process, except to the two or three of you that can't wrap your heads around the idea that it could be anything but.
