Atheism's Definition - Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
RE: Atheism's Definition - Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
There are atheists that believe a diety is not worthy of belief (that is a belief that something isn't qualified for belief), there are also those that withhold or reject belief in dieties (that is that the null position would be no belief). The former would be hard the latter soft. I don't think it directly needs the agnostic adjective unless one is defining their particular use of atheism. That is fairly standard explanation correct?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
