By your definition, if atheists don't exclude the possibility of anything then I'm also an atheist that does not exclude the possibility of a god.

Atheist is not addressing what you think is possible, it is addressing what you BELIEVE. The second sentence applies to atheism, the strong part of strong atheism refers to the claim that god doesn't exist the atheism part refers to the rejection of belief in a god. When it comes to strong and weak atheism the atheism part which addresses belief is exactly the same.

What you just stated doesn't really make sense. Also this really wasn't the aim of the thread, it's getting derailed.
