Common-sense is not particular to Europeans.
The wishy-washy recent re-definition of atheism as "without belief" was given modern impetus by Anthony Flew (who later converted to deism) in the late 1970s and popularised by the "New Atheists" - especially as an internet debating tactic - in the early part of this century.
No, that's the modern Dawkins-cult claim, commonly proselytised by Internet Atheists. Atheism has always been a more assertive position - there is no god.
Atheists' attempts to encroach on the much more rationally safe territory of agnosticism is crafty, but a sign of defeat.
