Secular humanist? Although you can be a secular theist. It just means you believe in god, but you don't want to live in a theocracy. Or a humanist theist, who still thinks we should all treat each other well despite also being a theist who thinks people who don't follow a certain set of rules aren't going to get the happy ending in the afterlife.

What is the name for modern atheists?

They let you get away with that? I am disappoint.  No capital A, and no, atheism is a lack of belief, not a positive claim. I know this may be confusing for you theist types  but it generally translates into "I have no opinion on non-existent things until someone makes a positive claim about non-existent things, because then I lack that belief."

I had this Christian cunt come up to me at the gas station a few months ago preaching her crap. I told her that I am an Atheist. Well that didn't stop her I guess she thought she had a chance to convert me. I had to clarify that I am actually an apostate and I'm not going back to that garbage.

Not going to pigeon hole myself because that hole is often to restrictive.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
What houseofcantor said. It's Atheist. I take it to mean that "I see no evidence that convinces me of the existence of any Deity."
And, unlike most faith-based individuals, if that evidence is presented (have God come 'round and say "hi") we'll willingly change our minds.
