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.
You define your own beliefs however you want.
You don't get to define anything for anyone else, and your opinion of the matter is irrelevant.
Atheism is not agnosticism and neither is it igtheism.
Calling everyone an atheist is as ignorant and childish as assuming a non-believer knows less about religion than believers. .
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell ![Popcorn Popcorn](https://atheistforums.org/images/smilies/popcorn.gif)
