the VERY common definition of atheist is someone who has an ACTIVE disbelief in God. Now you can play silly games and go back to semantics if you want to, but as you no doubt clearly know, words do NOT always capture ideas and beliefs perfectly and exacting definitions often change from the time a word is first "used".
Today there are three beliefs, an active belief (theist) an active disbelief (atheist) and neither (agnostics).
I have not run across ANYONE except you two guys on here who do not concede that trinary understanding.
