An agnostic self defines themselves as someone who thinks the question is ultimately unknowable no matter how much consideration they gave it previously.
They had to consider it a least once though.
If the Atheist can't find any reason to believe s/he might still be in the Agnostic camp - isn't that what Agnostics are - people who can't find good reason to believe.. either way?
For me the best definition of Atheist is one who rejects the belief in a god, not the god itself.
Appreciate your civil tone BTW.
Yes, it's a philosophical position.
"doesn't a lack of belief in gods constitute a belief in a lack of gods?"
Not necessarily.
An atheist should allow for the possibility that a god could exist because they are incapable of proving that they don't exist.
What religionists try to do is say that atheism is as much a belief as a theist's unfounded belief in god.
That would put them on par for irrationality. Which would make the theist feel better about themselves.
