Ok, wow. This started a discussion.
An apatheist is an atheist. As an atheist is anything but a theist and an apatheist is not a theist, he/she is therefore an atheist. So you can be an apatheist, but you are still an atheist. Atheism is the default position.
There are some 'false' definitions, but I've found that only certain people seem to find them false.
Many theists lump all atheists into the 'strong atheist' category even though it's a logical fallacy. In fact, in my experience, this is what most theists do.
Also, all of the self proclaimed 'agnostics' view atheism the same way.
These theists and self proclaimed 'agnostics' view agnosticism as what we atheists view atheism as.
It's a semantics problem. There are effectively two working definitions of 'atheism' even though only one of them is right.
This is the purpose of the poll, to show this discrepancy. There are 'right' answers in the poll. However, each group has their own idea of what answers are right.
