If you're classsfying Atheist as a social group I guess its necessary, but thats not really helping answer the question. The word 'Atheist' comes from the Greek a- not, and theos- God. It is the belief that there is no God. This isn't complicated stuff..
Gad, this is going to be tough. Okay then, by your definitions many of us here are agnostics. But how shall we answer the question of whether we believe in gods/God? If we find we have no belief in gods, what would you like to call that? Don't say agnostic because that is a term referencing knowledge, and we've already copped to that. Now we're addressing the question of belief in gods. Most of us find we have none (though some agnostics do believe in God) so what term would you like to employ to signify that if not "atheist"?
