No, you're describing agnosticism. Atheism is the denial of the existence of god or gods.

  • [quote] Atheism is the denial of the existence of god or gods.[/quote] That is not the assertion God doesn't exist. The denial of the belief that God exist =\= belief that god doesn't exist.

  • What are you even trying to argue now? de·ni·al dəˈnīəl/ noun the action of declaring something to be untrue. Does atheism not deny the existence of a god/gods?

  • You got me on the definition. An atheist is not someone who denies the existence of God. a·the·ist ˈāTHēəst/ noun a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods. "he is a committed atheist" synonyms:nonbeliever, disbeliever, unbeliever,skeptic, doubter, doubting Thomas,agnostic;  nihilist "why is it often assumed that a man of science is probably an atheist?" Agnostic is a synonym of atheist. Atheism is usually defined incorrectly as a belief system. Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.

  • Agnosticism is not a religious viewpoint. You can be an agnostic theist or an agnostic atheist. The atheistic viewpoint doesn't say God doesn't exist, it is just the lack of a belief in God due to the lack of evidence to justify believing in God. I don't know if God exists or not, but it is only logical to not accept the claim that indeed God does exist because there is no justification for it. Just like how there is no justification for Zeus, or Thor, or Horus, or Odin, or Allah, or Krishna etc.
