That sounds like “touching” has a really loose definition. If we go that way, you could say that our bodies are clouds of atoms that never touch one another
That is technically correct. The electrical field each atom is making means the electrons of each atom are not directly touching each other, so we are just a ton of atoms not touching each other outside of electrical fields.

It’s better to include the field in your atom definition - it’s an important part of it. Then you’ll see they do touch.
Not touching, can’t get mad!
