I agree that there is more to the term atheist than just a rejection of a god claim for the reasons you mentioned. I'll also add that you'll find most believers couldn't care less of the strong, weak, agnostic, etc. divisions or labels of various flavors of atheism. Many atheists don't care for the distinctions either as it all becomes very tedious. Most of the world will consider somone an atheist if their tonsils aren't as firmly wrapped around god's cock as the one making the claim.
I have a friend that doesn't care about my atheism; he happens to be a deist of the "there's got to be something bigger than ourselves" variety. He often asks that I drop the 'atheist' lable since it comes with its own stereotypes and baggage. I said fuck 'em. He shrugged his shoulders and said so be it.
