What exactly are we declaring our belief or non-belief in? Which definition of God?
Because I am reluctant to label myself either an atheist or a theist if we're including anything that could ever be defined as a god (I'm including the 'god = the universe' kinds of belief here); but if we're only talking about one or a few kinds of definitions then we should change the name for all the others so it doesn't get confusing as to which group of beliefs we're talking about.

Tell me, how often have you actually run into a situation where this has been a source of confusion?
