    Dude. No. My atheism is a rejection of a proposition that god exists. Nothing more and nothing less.

    My strong/gnostic atheism is a rejection of the concept that gods could exist, based on my rejection of the concept of the supernatural based on my conviction of the intellectual importance of methodological materialism and scepticism in everyday epistemology.

    But atheism does not have to include ANY of the second paragraph, it is NOT identical with scepticism, nor with the rejection of everything supernatural, even if those often coincide.

    And you are muddying and diminishing atheism by "no true scotsman"ing it here.
