I’m not sure what the rest of the dribble about the pew survey or mother Teresa’s doubts were about. But okay
Exactly.
Nope. Try again.
Not surprised your need for black and white thinking precludes you for even getting the nuances. But okay.
Very typical.

I think incorporating a more nuanced and broader definition of atheism is preferable to using your own special labels.
Atheism is a lack of belief in God/s, or a rejection of the belief that God/s exists, regardless of reason, including the supposed incoherency of the term God/s.
A position in which one lacks a belief in God, because it's not clear to him what that even means, is still atheism. Because atheism is a mere lack of belief, not the justification of the lack of belief.
