By "properly" do you mean by "commonly"? 11/25/2015, 9:53am PST
Properly atheism is anything which isn't theism. Even a religion may have no gods, and a theistic belief system can be something which barely qualifies as a religion at all. Agnostic isn't a middle region on a spectrum.

A lot of people do seem to think religion and theism are the same thing and mean specifically something derived from Judaism. And they think atheism means definitely not that, and agnosticism is somewhere in the middle.
