I looked up "atheism" in a search engine to make sure I hade the spelling right (I did), and on a lark I ended up reading this page which basically defines atheism and answers a lot of frequently asked questions about atheism and the logic behind it and in relation to religious beliefs.

It's a fairly long page, but I ended up reading the whole thing out of curiousity. I have to say their definition pretty closely matches my approach to the idea of religion and I would say I'm probably an example that fits their definition of atheist-- the "probably" being left in because I'm not entirely sure I accurately understood all the preconceived definitions of certain theological or philosophical words/terms used. One thing I particularly liked about the article was discussion of charity in relation to religious organizations.

Yeah, I sort of was wishy-washy on the whole logic-test section of the document. I think I understood it mostly, but I've never had any formal classroom training in philosophy or debate that deals with logic tests and following their terminology/concepts was a bit awkward.

So I would say that I understood it in general but I don't think I could break down pieces of it and debate it and be totally certain I accurately understood the statement I was debating.
