Am I an Atheist?

[I don't think that you can really have a "gnostic weak atheist". Weak atheism is simply the stance that the current evidence in favor of God is unconvincing; there's nothing that you can really feel either certain or uncertain about.GabuEx

A gnostic weak atheist is redundant. "I know I don't believe in God" is the same thing as "I don't believe in God." All weak atheists are agnostic.

I know I'm not black.

Therefore I am white?

Exactly. I know what I'm not, but seeing as there's still an assload of possibilities regarding what I am, knowing what I'm not doesn't help much.

You say you believe there is a God, therefore you are not an atheist...chessmaster1989

This. Not believing in a god is the ONE thing that makes someone an atheist, and anyone who does not believe in god is an atheist.

If you do believe in god (even just "kind of sort of" believe in god) then you believe in god. Which makes you not an atheist.

They key component to atheism is thinking that God does not exist.

Actually, no. The key component to atheism is not believing that god exists.

That might seem like a trivial difference, and it might seem like saying the same thing in different words. But it's not. It's a crucial difference. There is a big difference between believing that god doesn't exist and not believing that god exists.

[QUOTE="I_pWnzz_YoU"]This is not another religion thread (sort of) :D But anyways, heres the deal. I don't go to church, or read the bible, and I believe in evolution and not creationism. BUT, I don't flat out say "God isn't real", even though I haven't been given solid evidence he exists, I still kind of believe there is a God and a place we go to when we die (Heaven). Use the poll, but also explain. super_mario_128

You are a variant of an atheist. I think it's called Agnostic. Meaning you don't believe in God but you acknowledge that there is the possibility that he does exist.Treflis

Wikipedia to the rescue!

Atheism is broadly defined as any absence of belief in deities, but can also be the explicit view that there are no deities, or the rejection of theism as being immoral, meaningless, incoherent, unwarranted, or false.Wikipedia

and...

Agnosticism is the philosophical view that the truth value of certain claims— particularly metaphysical claims regarding theology, afterlife or the existence of deities, ghosts, or even ultimate reality— is unknown or, depending on the form of agnosticism, inherently impossible to prove or disprove.Wikipedia

Quite simple now.

Well, i wouldn't really worry about it. I just say i'm not religious if anyone asks.AAllxxjjnn

You would be an Deist, Atheism is someone who rejects the concept of God(s).Contrary to popular belief, Atheism isn't a lack of belief in God(s). Otherwise agnostics, apatheists and Ignostics would be included in that definition and thus the term would be useless.
