Telegraph | Opinion:

“I wish to defend some of us poor maligned atheists. The literal definition of atheist is ‘without god’. I am atheist, not ‘an atheist’. By this I mean that I subscribe to no god. Even if the ether were abundant with deities, none is for me.

This is much the same as being apolitical. It does not mean the apolitical person does not believe in the existence of politicians, merely there is no politician to which he subscribes. We used to be called Conservatives.
