It is therefore possible that atheism is just the lack of a specific belief, no?

Joe is an agnostic, because he as expressed no preference.

No, the point is that the definitions are inaccurate, because there is no reliable knowledge classification system to correctly pigeonhole the terms (labels, descriptions) with the succinctly differing definitions. As it is, cultures are allowed to shift the definitions; and for some reason, atheist, believe that is acceptable; except in the case of definition of atheism and theism.

You are in good company. David Mitchell argues the same, and he is wrong.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
