Re: Geez I wonder what's up Squire?
Some people take "atheist" to mean someone who doesn't believe in god. Others take it as meaning someone who believes there is no god. The 34.4% are the atheists who avoid the word because it leads to uninteresting arguments about terminology.
(Proving non-existence is impossible, so if you think the word means that then there are no atheists and the word becomes useless, and we need a new word for non-believers. "Agnostic" doesn't really cut it because it would be like saying you were agnostic about whether the tooth fairy is real.)
