I really have to agree with you. It's hard enough to try to describe atheism to strongly religious people who seem to be convinced that atheists do actually believe in god, because to denounce something you have to believe in it first ...
Yeah, I don't understand the logic, either.
All these new terms confuse the issue. I can understand the difference between 'atheist' and 'anti-theist', but the others are just superfluous and confuse the issue.
On a related point, have you ever checked out Fundies Say the Darnest Things? It's amusing and depressing all at the same time. The site appears to be down right now, but read about it here.
