RE: Ybe an atheist
Thanks for your replies. I have read the rules before my first post, but perhaps not studiously enough.

Is there any logical. reasonable. rational reason to be an A atheist or "apatheist"

Yep. I'm an apatheist because none of the versions of God I've heard about would make any difference to me. I'd behave just the same whether they existed or not.

I'm nominally an atheist because every definition of God I've heard of consists of one or more of the following:

1) Incoherent
2) Untestable
3) Relabelling

The definition changes for each theist, for those that define it at all.

I have not seen any evidence or arguments for god that I find convincing.  I find them to be flawed, fallacious, tautological, unfalsifiable, and in the best of situations merely inconclusive.  It's logical for me to withhold belief in a proposition until sufficient evidence has been adduced, so I am an atheist.

That's about it.  Can't comment on the apatheist part though, since I'm not one.

Sure.  No requirement -in- atheism, though..that a person possesses one.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Rule of thumb: if you can read it, g didn't write it.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Oh, a Q for a Q, ehhh! Cool

If Q s are answers, then would it be wrong to think atheists are really theists?

...An atheist can't be a theist. That's kinda the whole definition.
