I always find it interesting how they largely just seem to have switched dogmatic stances from some religion to atheism.
The real logical stance is "I do not know if this is true or not because it is unprovable".
They look down on true believers while being true believers in atheism themselves.
Atheism is just rejecting the claim that Hod or a specific God claim exists, it isn't claiming that you believe with certainty he does not. I am an agnostic atheist, I reject the claim that the Jewish, Christian, whatever God exists and in fact positively believe they do not exist because of its self-contradictory nature. I admit that there might be a higher power that created our universe and is outside of time, etc, but it's unknown/unknowable.
