Yes, even Richard Dawkins described himself as being "6 out of 7" sure that God doesn't exist (or something like that), but I think he should still be called an atheist.

Many (most?) Christians are really only about 6 out of 7 sure that they're on the right track, too, and that doesn't seem to make them into something else, either.

Of course. And the confession "Lord, I believe; help thou my unbelief" in Mark 9:24 was apparently good enough for Jesus.
