Still not sure what point you're really making, Belaqua.
Atheism, the term itself, indicates a mere lack of belief, nothing more.
What varying attitudes atheists have regarding the proposition "God exists" says nothing about what atheism itself literally means.
Atheists are not atheists because they think the above proposition is bullshit; atheists are atheists for not accepting that proposition as true (whether actively or passively). That's all. Whatever else they think is irrelevant to what atheism is fundamentally.
