I'm sort of confused... I explained, I think quite clearly, that I do not necessarily reject or deny god and that most atheist don't do this either... 

 

Again, I'm following the definition. Whatever you want to call yourself, whether it's, "it's complicated", "questioning" "curious", it's fine. But I'm just following the definition.

 And you should clearly know that atheists do not necessarily deny god, since you just quoted an atheist who doesn't deny god.

David Berlinski, a renowned Scientist, does not even defend the existence of God. Rather, he criticized Atheism claiming that in order to stay scientific, one must not pretend that Science disproves God. He wrote a book, Devil Delusion in response to Richard Dawkin's God Delusion.

Words have more than one usage.  I gave you the one that I use, and the one which most atheists use.

I'm not going to argue about the definition.  Not because I'm close minded, but because it's exceedingly boring.  If you want to have a conversation, then you're gonna have to do it based on what I believe.  Cause I'm not going to defend a position that I don't hold.
