Tell me, how often have you actually run into a situation where this has been a source of confusion?

Of course, you know what you mean when you say you're an atheist and I know what I mean when I call myself an atheist, but if we're only using our own subjective ideas of what the term means, I could in theory be calling myself a theist and have exactly the same view as you, because the definitions of god are certainly broad enough and numerous enough for that to occur.
