Most dictionaries have the primary definition of atheist as someone who disbelieves or denies the existence of God. Since 'disbelief' is 'not believing', this defintion includes both agnostic and gnostic atheists. A particular dictionary may have a different defintion, but as long as an equally authoritative dictionary has the disbelieve definition, the inclusive defintion of atheist wins.
