doesn't the word atheism commonly cover both definitions?
i think i remember some recognizable atheist even coming up with a number scale ranging fromĀ "believing there is no god" with degrees of belief, to absence of belief, (and on up to to theist)

I always figured that everyone was an atheist to one degree or another.
There are the pure atheists who believe that all religions are man made and that all deities are simply projections of an idea that many misguided people find soothing, and then there are the religious atheists who believe that all religions but their own are man made and that all of the deities but their own are simply projections of an idea that many misguided people find soothing.
