Some of the more amusing applications have been when one group of theists calls another group of theists a bunch of atheists because they believe in the wrong god, as the romans considered the christians. As the greeks before them considered anyone who might criticize their god concepts.
I do not know if I am without a god or not.
I sure as hell do not "believe" that any gods exist...but if one does exist, we are both "with" a god...no matter our beliefs.
I have no beef with anyone who wants to be known as an atheist, but I am not an atheist.
