I don't know. I consider this argument semantic. While I am not defined by being an atheist, I do self identify as an atheist when the topic of religion comes up.
Rather than calling other people who are religious that they are FSM rejectionists, I'll sometimes tell them that they are atheists too... they reject all other gods/religions other than they one god that they do subscribe to. Believe it or not, this phrasing has made more than one person take pause and think on the issue for half a minute. Sometimes they'll chuckle, sometimes they'll frown, but at least they are thinking about the myriad different belief systems that exists and how each and every one of those systems holds all of the others as false.
The short version of this is, "Sure, you're an atheist too, I just believe in one less god than you do."
