Wouldn't that make mincemeat of the standard definitions of the words?

No because if someone believes in any god they cannot, by definition be an atheist. Likewise for the theists.

If they believed in god, they wouldn't be an atheist. The theist would be atheist if they didn't believe in god.

I was atheist and now I learn God was with me. Atheism doesnt mean always to be a bad or immoral person, is just another view of religion. I had great experiencies in religion.

The latter one violates the definition; however, an atheist can believe in god but not a personal, theistic one.

The whole thing about athiests is they DON'T believe in God. If they did, they wouldn't be athiest.

By definition, both of those terms are mutually exclusive.
