Atheism has to do with belief, so that statement would be: I don't believe a deity exists or I believe a deity does not exist.

The majority of atheists is agnostic atheists. You haven't done much reading around the forum, have you?

I thought Atheist meant does not accept the existence of a deity and agnostic meant a person was undecided about the existence of God(s). So to me the agnostic atheist is a contradiction. Here's another thought: Even if there is a God, I don't need God to explain anything that exists. God is irrelevant to my life. So there!
