Yet you obviously and arrogantly claim, that you're possessing the truth. Yeah, well, that's between you and your fellow christians to match out. Personally I don't care, if someone calls themselves christian, muslim, jew or following the gospel of Donald Duck.

They all claim to possess the truth and with very few exemptions, to have some special insight. They all can't be right, but they all can very well be wrong.

And that's why I don't give one shit about what anybody claims to be.

Ok then, I'm a God believing Atheist! Or does Atheism have rules that prevent me from both believing in God and calling myself an atheist?

Because there is literally one definition of atheist, not a code or set of beliefs or a canon. Saying you're a god-believing atheist is like saying you're a married bachelor, it's not a question of doctrinal differences or anything vague, it's literally a definition of one stance on one question for one person.

It's very easy to "test" someone to see if they're an atheist or not.

Mormons claim to be Christian, Drich says "nu uh", several Protestant sects say Catholics aren't christians, catholic church says "nu uh", Drich claims to be a real Christian, <insert random sect here> says "nu uh".

There's no end to the circle, because there's no "true christian" test.

Yet, i'm willing to bet there is a test to be deemed an atheist. Other than what a person claims for themselves.

Yeah, it's a really easy test actually.

"Do you hold a belief in a god?"

"No"--> Atheist

Anything else --> non-atheist
