I ALMOST agree with Chad. However, my gripe with atheism being "a lack of belief in gods" is that it can rightly be levelled that defining it that way is a sneaky way of trying to avoid any possible burden of proof. And this is completely unnecessary. After all, it is semantically equivalent to defining it as "not believing in the existence of gods", and likewise doesn't seem to give one the burden of proof.
