It has been suggested that the title "Atheist" has a negative connotation, so much so that we need to come up with a new name to describe those that do not have a positive belief in any gods.
I haven't read the entire thread but if atheist means, as you put it, "those that do not have a positive belief in any gods", then I am happy to be called an atheist. I'd also question the suggestion that the term has negative connotations. What's wrong about not having a positive belief in any gods?
