What term would you prefer to use (instead of moderates)?

Would you like to be called a moderate atheist? There is say an extreme form of atheism and a more closer to a normal person where you're not denying God quite so much and being more reasonable in your unbelief? When you say "moderate" you mean they have a lesser form of insanity. They're just people with a genuine faith who don't deny science, reason or have any prejudice. That's how it's meant to be.

Yup. I know what I mean by it and I understand what you mean by it but you said...

So if we reject the term 'moderate', what would you prefer?
