8) Doubter
9) Cynic
10) Empiricist
These are all arguable and should perhaps be in the symantics thread!
Thesarus often gave "agnostic" as synonymous with "atheist" but I didn't buy it.
Very good, but I really meant 10 words to describe a disbelief in something specific in the same way that atheist describes a disbelief in a god or gods.
For example, is there a word for the disbelief in ghosts, or aliens or salmons orbiting Jupiter etc?
But as you've put in so much work I think you deserve a little prize
