I think there is some points where we misunderstood:
1- I'm not a believer at all, and wonder where you guessed that
2- I got that definitions readig a dictionnary, what even in my great
stupidity seem easy.

Believer: that believe God exist
Atheist: that believe God *doesn't* exist
Agnostic: that believe nothing can be determined

If you are annoyed that the concept of God has a relevance with the
world 'atheist', perhaps should I recall that a-theist come from 'theos'
or in english words ... God.
