    I don’t believe you’re an atheist, because you believe in reality. That’s religious thinking.

      If you want to believe that belief in external reality to your senses requires a similar leap of faith that belief in unprovably extant supreme beings requires that’s fine, but that’s not what the word atheist means. That’s not how people use it. They don’t use it to refer to people who refuse to believe in things requiring faith (as in believing in something that can’t be proven). It is used to refer to people who don’t believe in gods.
