Since atheism is only a response to theistic claims, and doesn't make any claims in itself, it doesn't make sense to use it in a label which does male the claim "god does not exist ".
The terms are already muddy and people use them in different ways to mean different things. Just confusing and inconvenient.
Yeah, I agree. In practical terms, it's all the same thing though. If you're not allowing for "God" when you are making decisions, then it's an irrelevancy.
Even if you're a theist, it's still irrelevant unless you think you have some actual information about God(s).
