Thanks for reminding me cyber about the term 'belief', I was using it interchangeably with another term - my bad. Now I'll using the term 'belief' as a proposition or a premise that is held true by the thinker.
Atheism = belief that god do not exist.
Agnosticism = belief that god may or may not exist.
Theism = belief that god exist.
Lack of belief would supposedly only occurs if you have no opinion or never heard of something.
Atheist = lack of total belief in God.
Agnostic = does not lack nor support the belief in God.
Theism = total belief in God existence.
Think of the three term as a gradient. Atheist on the far left, Agnostic in the center and Theism on the far right.
There are varying degree of 'belief' between Atheism - Agnostic and between Agnostic -Theism.
