On 7) I also think that spectrum is missing something about the impact of one's position on theism. I'm a big Natural Lawyer. Should a god be proven to exist I don't think I would ever see any god or godlike entity as a font of morality or even a legitmate arbiter. They may have greater reasoning abilities than me and one would have to respect that but my position on theism is that I'd hold any god within the same moral framework as any other entity.

Oh yes, that's another question entirely!

That question seems to be considered in a secondary link to "apatheism," which is defined orthogonally to the theisim/atheism spectrum.

[danieldwilliam]

Yeah, something like that seems to fit.
