Clarification: Relative metaphysical atheists maintain an implicit denial of a particular concept of God based on the incongruity between their individual philosophies and attributes commonly applied to God, such as transcendence, a personal aspect, or unity. Examples of relative metaphysical atheism include pantheism, panentheism, and deism.

I don't know whether we have any pure "relative metaphysical atheists", although a fair number of "practical atheists" would specifically reject certain conceptions of God.

cordially,
Scofflaw
