Babies have not thought about religion, therefore they do not hold beliefs about it. This means they are not atheists or agnostics. We do not have a word for what they are. Deal with it.

Nope. An atheist is someone who positively believes god does not exist.

An agnostic doesn't believe in god, but doesn't disbelieve in god. They don't have a decided belief one way or the other. Babies, being largely unaware of religion in general, don't know, and are thus agnostic.

From the Merriam-Webster dictionary:
atheist : one who believes that there is no deity

Babies are neither atheists nor agnostics. Deal with it.

Amongst the people who use the term atheist to self describe, there is. In the culture at large, there is. There is some confusion amongst wanna be angsty teenage philosophers .

No, there isn't. Similar to political lingo, everyone has their own private definition of what it means.
