I don't think I'm trying to have it both ways. To me, atheism is skepticism and disbelief of the supernatural, including but not limited to god(s), angels and demons, life after death, re-incarnation, and new age woo woo like healing crystals, auras, and astral projection. Perhaps there's a better term and atheism is merely a
special case subset that applies solely to disbelief in god(s) in the same way that all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares. If I'm overloading the term and there's a better word for what I described, then I will gladly incorporate it into my vocabulary.
