If you answer Yes, you are a theist. If you answer No, you are an atheist.
That is the only thing that makes anyone an atheist.
Atheism contains no positive beliefs. It is not a belief. It is a rejection of a claim.
"Do you believe in bigfoot ?"
No. The answer of no would make me an abigfootist if such a term existed.
The non belief in bigfoot is not a belief.
Also I would say that all agnostics are also atheists. They don't have a belief in a god and as such, that makes them an atheist, by definition.
They may not like the label of atheist, but that is what they are.
What beliefs do you think atheism is based on ?
Atheism is undoubtedly a belief, don't delude yourself.
Belief in this case is referring to an ideology / idea. Atheism is an ideology, ("ism" in 'atheism' means "a distinctive doctrine, theory, system, or practice") hence why you guys are constantly trying to form tactics to try and actively counter theist arguments...
How many "abigfootist" forums have you joined?
