Is it logical for a Theological Noncognitivist to identify as an atheist?

RE: Is it logical for a Theological Noncognitivist to identify as an atheist?
Yeah I'm ignostic, which is pretty much the same thing I believe.

It seems there is some debate, but I'd say we are still atheists. Being atheist isn't about taking a position, it's about not taking a position. And you can't take the position to believe in something if you don't understand what it is.

I mean, I lack a belief in loads of weird things that I've never heard of. What are they? I don't know, I've never heard of them. But I don't believe in them, so I'm a-weirdstuff.

Once a claim is made meaningful, only then can we actually believe in it at all. We may have believed in such a thing before then had it been explained properly, or even believed in it under a different name. (God is the universe, blah blah.)
