I'm confused by the options, there's
Atheists = Don't believe in Gods
Theists = Do believe in Gods
Other = ???
The Atheist-Theist dichotomy seems sound... what is this other?

I guess it could be undecided

There is no undecided, people that haven't decided on a label but don't yet accept the statement "There is a God" are implicit atheists.

Your intent on arguing with me aren't you?
And you could say that people that haven't decided on a label but don't yet accept the statement "There is no God" are implicit religious

you could even say that that people who haven't decided on a label but don't yet accept the statement "There is a God" or There is no God" are undecided.

How many times am I going to have to explain this to you before it gets through your thick skull.

Atheist =/= "I believe there is no God"
Atheist = "I don't believe there is a God"

You're arguing against Gnostic Atheism. Not the much more dominant Agnostic Atheism.

They're is people who are not religious, but do believe god in some sort of way. Agnostic People.

Agnostic is not a stance on a belief in a God. Agnostic is a stance on knowledge.

I swear this is the millionth time I've had to do this but I'll do it again.

Gnostic Theist: I know there is a God
Agnostic Theist: I don't know that there is a God but I believe there is one.
Agnostic Atheist: I don't know that there is a God but I don't believe there is one.
Gnostic Atheist: I know there is no God.

Ok let me break it down for you all since apperantly you can't seem to understand this shit.

-.-

Atheist: Don't believe in God.
Religious: Believe in God.
Other: I'm not sure i believe or don't believe.


Thats what it means. Screw your fucking definitions, thats what the choices mean. It really pains me to see such obvious shit complicated.
