If I understand you correctly, you would consider such a person an 'atheist', then, because he denies/doesn't believe in the true nature of God?

All revealed religions have a man turned into a God at their core. All claim to be the middle man between the creator and the created. All claim that man will suffer eternal torture if he does not follow the dictates they are delivering from God. None can offer any proof of their claims. No man who truly believed in God would make these claims. So yes, I do consider them Atheists. At least a true Atheist has the honesty to admit up front that he does not believe.
No man knows the true nature of God, and no man speaks for God. To claim otherwise is to be a liar.
I have no problem with religion. I do have a problem with those zealots who claim to be speaking for God while they empower themselves.
I believe those who prey on the superstitious and weak while claiming to be an agent for God are the true evil...not the imaginary demon called Satan.
