No, that is not what atheism is. Atheism is the lack of belief in any
gods.

* *Yeah, you don't believe in gods. A lack of belief, by definition, is
not believing.

Let's go back to the valid definition of atheism, the lack of belief in
any gods. Where does that require evidence that any particular god does
not exist?

* * * *How does it do anything but? YOu are saying there are no gods.
Lack of gods mean they don't exist or there would be a god or two
floating around. I did not say anything about a particular god (thus the
lower case "g" to keep my high school English teachers happy-grin).
Until you can prove that there are no gods to believe, atheism is just
the mirror image of theism (with their own brand of fundamentalism).

You might apply that statement to the tooth fairy.
Or the flat earth.

God belief is just a con.
Why this con is not illegal as are other cons is beyond me.
