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. .

I’m not defining your personal beliefs, I’m defining terms, along the lines that these terms have been defined by other atheists.

You said atheism is not agnosticism, while many atheists would define themselves as agnostic atheist. By this sort of implication, of the meaning of terms, you’d fall into the bracket of an ignostic atheist, whether you like that label or not. Your personal feelings have nothing to do with it.
