Why does it matter?
The word 'atheism' is all but useless as a meaningful description.
There is no way of knowing what people 'really' believe. Humans a species are superlative self deceivers, and rationalisers,not to mention bare faced liars.
If we judge individuals and/or groups only on behaviour it's usually virtually impossible to tell the difference between atheists and believers.
