I don't believe in atheists. There's no such thing.

So then you are an aatheist?

Belief in God = theism
Disbelief in God = atheism
Disbelief in the Disbelief of God => aatheism.

I suppose you've never been to China: that's a country full of millions of atheists. But you don't have to fly all that far out to meet a few of us. We're all around you, whether you like it or not.

You may think you exist, but you are logically inconsistent. If a charaterization is illogical, it cannot be a truism. Why don't you attempt to refute my logic? Because you can't. Atheists are their own god. Agnostics are at least logically consistent.

Actually, anatheists would be a better term, and can be pronouned more easily. But you are correct. Atheists are all around. We're a tiny minority of the population, but there's one virtually on every block.

I remember this guy I knew in the USAF. I saw his dog tags one day, and they said "Protestant" where religion was specified. He was a good friend of mine, so I asked him when the last time was he attended church, prayed, or thought about his religious beliefs. Pretty much never on all three was his answer.

So I asked him why he specified "protestant." He thought a minute and then told me that he didn't know, really. He knew he wasn't a Catholic or a Jew, so I guess he figured that "protestant" was pretty much the other option.

Turns out he was an atheist, really. I asked if he believed in a God, and he said not really. I asked him if he believed in Heaven and Hell and got the same response.

He just hadn't given what to call himself any thought.
