Then you should laugh at Zhav, for his apparent lack of common sense
Ad hominem attack, you can do better than this. And you might NOT want to use Wikipedia for your definitions of Atheism. Any freaking Christian, Arab, Jew, Hindu, etc... can go in there and change that post if they feel so inclined. I reject it whole heartedly. Atheism by pure etymology, is Lack of or Non-belief in personal creator and ruler of the universe. It than can be broken down further into Strong and Weak, where weak atheism = the etymological definition. Strong Atheism can be characterized as a belief. The same applies to agnosticism. Strong agnosticism says we CAN"T know (a belief) and weak or just plain agnosticism says "I don't know". Use the etymology of the words and you're safe.
