Timmy is not an athiest, you cannot struggle against something you do not believe exists.

Agnostic.

And I'm not struggling against God. (Monty's "LOL" duly noted. )

But by the most technical definition of "atheist", the prefix "a" meaning "not", well, I'm not a theist, so, there ya go. I don't apply the term to myself, though, as a commonly understood definition, maybe the most common, is someone who says there is no God and "knows" () it. And that's not me.

Ah, you are consistent then. I can appreciate that.
