a person who believes in the existence of a diety or higher power,by defination as we understand it would not be considered an athiest,or possibely even agnostic.as the buddha himself taught,it is really not importent to the path,and left it up to the individual to decide.that's why most but not all buddhists are defined as athiests.

however to get back on topic,for myself,i am an athiest(i have a lack of belief in thiesm).does that make me correct?to me and most others i know,yes.is it right for everyone or to everyone,no.
