I'm an agnostic atheist. I do not think there is a god but I do not discount the chance that there may be.
The reason is because faith without evidence has never appealed to me |

| Then that defeats the whole purpose of being an atheist. |

| Agnostic means that you don't what to believe. Atheist means you believe that God is dead. |

No
Agnostic means you don't know
Gnostic means you do know |

| But Atheism means that you are absolutely sure that God either doesn't exist or is dead. |

| So you would be an Agnostic if you believed there could be a higher power. Agnostic Atheist doesn't really work, because you're combining the belief that there isn't and the belief that there might. |

No not really
Gnostic atheist: I know there is no god
Agnostic atheist: I'm not sure, but I suspect there is no god |

| No! Atheist means that you are certain God doesn't exist or is dead! |

No it doesn't
It can't mean two things that are different to each other |

| Those things usually correspond with each other when one is talking about atheism. Have you ever seen an atheist that considered himself atheist when he is not sure of God's existence? |

a·the·ist [ey-thee-ist] Show IPA noun a person who denies or disbelieves the existence of a supreme being or beings.
That's the definition from dictionary.com, and I could go ahead and pull out an actual dictionary, which I'm sure will have the same definition. So, I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying you're ignorant AND wrong. |

| Unsure really, therefore just anti-Religious. I don't cancel out the possibilities of there being, or not being a divine being. I do however believe nobody has the authority or knowledge to claim to know, therefore all Religious teachings are lies. |

| Deist, I believe in god through statistical and philosophic evidence, but I renounce the idea that said supernatural power revealed itself to man. |

I am an Atheist Buddhist.
I do not believe in a God so I am an Atheist however I do believe some things that most other Atheists wouldn't like Rebirth. I also believe in evolution, the big bang as they are pretty much proven whether creationists like it or not and do not believe in a soul or any inherently existent or permanent self. |

Lol, Atheists trying to prove reincarnation is hilarious. they say crap along the lines of how consciousness has to continue because we have no other evidence that it doesn't, yet they fail to understand that things can exist in a state without human acknowledgement whatsoever. |

Wow. Atheists just don't believe in any gods. A deist thinks that God is dead/is not doing anything/has abandoned us. If you think an atheist believes that God is dead, you should not be telling that guy what agnosticism and atheism mean. |
