No, you both missed. An Atheist is one who does not believe in gods.

No, YOU missed, CW, as did RHF. You were right up until the following
point:

"Anyone that believes in a god, no matter what the name of that god, is not an
Atheist."

I checked all eight of my dictionaries, consulted thesauri and
books on word origins in English, and no mention was made of that
last sentence. Not *one* of them mentioned anything along the
lines of "Anyone that (sic) believes in a god, no matter what the name of
that god (sic), is not an Atheist." If you can back up that statement
with FACT, I'll bite. If not, your pseudologic is far too fishy for me.

Please cite sources.
