But I sometimes fear that the word 'atheist' may make people think we are suggesting we know for sure there is no god when that isn't really the case. I'd like if there were a better word which helped to encompass the idea that it's 'atheist because of a lack of evidence to the contrary', not because we know there isn't a god.
I know what you mean. But at the same time, yes, agnostic has this relativist "oh we really don't know anything" vibe which undersells the atheist position.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
