For example many people think that "there's no gods, and theistic religions are harmful to our society"

The claim is not "there is no god".

I don't know that to tell you. This seems internally inconsistent.

Yes, "there's no god" is not a claim, it's just the logical conclusion from all of this.

It's like concluding that daddy long legs didn't evolve from a Chinese dragon

"there is no god" is definitely a claim. It can be falsified with evidence (in theory. I don't think such evidence exists).

Perhaps you mean "I don't believe there's a god" or "I haven't seen evidence to convince me there's a god"? Those aren't claims. Those can't be falsified. They're opinions based on evaluation of evidence.

But we're quibbling over minutia at this point.
