What do you call someone who lacks belief in gods?

The currently accepted philosophical terminology is, "weak atheist."

One who lacks belief in gods, but also actively asserts that no sentient god is possible, is a "strong atheist."

Yes, there's connotations on every word, but you gotta call it something.
