then atheism is - NOT proposing that God exists
Problem solved, minus the idiotic wibble.
So what do you call those who propose that God does not exist? Anti-theists?
Nope, anti-theist are those who wish to get rid of theism (forcefully)

People who claim the Christian god does not exist would be gnositc a-christians.
