I've finally worked it out ... we are all atheists. There might be some exceptions of which I can't think, but basically pretty much everyone is an atheist for the following reasons. First of all, I am assuming that the definition of an atheist is one who does not believe in the existence of God/s. So when someone says that they believe in one God or say, a group of Gods, they are effectively saying that they don't believe in any God/s not in that group so it would be fair to say that they are atheistic towards the God/s not in the acceptable group.
:-)
I therefore propose the following definitions:
Atheist - One who does not believe in the existence of any Gods
atheist - One who does not believe in the existence of some God/s
Theist - One who believes in the existence of all Gods
Of course, my tongue is in my cheek!
