Still confused? Consider the issue of morality. An atheistic view of morality is one which is godless; that means a morality understood and engaged without any reference to god(s).
Am I correct to say that this is your definition of Atheism?
No, since that etymology and definition existed long before I did.
I stand corrected on that point.
However, I do think your usage of the word "fundie" and "atheist" in the same sentence, side by side, is inaccurate. A fundamentalist is indeed one who has a strict adherence to any set of basic ideas or principles, but a disbelief in god(s) isn't a general idea that one "conforms" to. It is a personal choice that you make. To further add, unlike religion, there is nothing organized about it either.
