No, I'm saying that any position where one does not have belief in God is defined as atheism. My point was that atheism does not have to be thought of as a position of rejection (indeed, that would be considered "strong" atheism). My weak atheism is not a rejection of theism, but a disbelief of theism. I am not saying theism is wrong; I'm saying I don't believe there is evidence to suggest it is right. That doesn't mean evidence won't be presented to me one day which will convince me otherwise.
There is an active atheism, and there is a passive atheism. Active atheism is where you have actively made a decision to belief (based on whatever means you used). Passive atheism is a default position, as in "this baby has just been born and thus does not have any beliefs concerning the existence of gods, therefore by definition is a passive atheist".
You can call passive atheism equivalent to ignorance if you want; I wouldn't argue with you, but what I'm would argue is that atheism covers people who believe there is no god as much as people who have no belief in god.
