more like a theory
and I'm trying to be fair here, why else would I call it a belief

[Headcrab Zombie]

No
An atheist believes that no supreme beings exist

It's a lack of belief, not a belief in a lack
It's a subtle difference in wording but a major difference in meaning. The difference is that the latter in an assertion. Atheism does not assert anything, it simply rejects the assertions of other religions.

kind of like how evolution is a belief

evolution is not a "belief"

This.
Also if you're attempting to say that all atheists accept evolution and therefore form a common set of beliefs, no they do not all accept it

On top of that, Atheism isn't a lack of religion. It's a lack of belief in divine beings.

Technically true, however in the context of the prevalence of theistic religions in western society, lack of religion is heavily implied.

I really hope you're not attempting to abuse the word 'theory' in an intellectually dishonest way the way creationists do with their "it's only a theory!" thing
A scientific theory is backed with a lot of supporting evidence

I wasn't trying to say that, although I admit that, looking back on it, I suppose it sounds like I was

literally the next line in the message:

My point was that he was calling it a fact, where facts are basically unquestionable. I agree completely about the  abuse of the word "theory" in religious arguments.

But seriously, I don't feel like this argument is getting anywhere. It's just become an argument on word definition vs. the social meaning of a word.

athiest i guess? i mean i believe that god exists, but i dont follow any religion of any sorts. i dont think he's like someone who should be worshiped, but he's just there. kind of like the sun, but he doesn't actually do anything for us.

[Wynd_Fox]

That's theist, irreligious.

I think you're a deist. If you had to fit into one of the categories I'd say agnostic.
