They`re not three different positions on the same thing. Why complicate it by giving a different meaning to a word that already exists, pretending that two different positions are the same position and pretending that faith and objective, provable knowledge are the same thing? Here are 4 different positions: Does not claim to know for sure about the existence of gods. Does not believe in them. Does not claim to know for sure about the existence of gods.

You`ve been saying that an atheist is a person who believes there are no gods. It appears that you have not understood what you`ve read in dictionaries.
