(March 3, 2017 at 3:37 am)Jesster Wrote: The base requirement of atheism is a lack of belief (disbelief) in a god or gods. You can stop there if you are just trying to define atheism. Atheists can also believe that there is no god if they want to take it further.

Would this be more accurate?:

Lack of a belief in any god- Atheism

Belief that there is no god- Anti-theism

or

Lack of a belief in any god- Weak/negative atheism

Belief that there is no god- Strong/positive atheism
