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.

"I don't know" is a perfectly valid point of view and is quite different
from "I
know there is a God" and from "I know there isn't a God".


Agnosticism is a lack of belief

Agnosticism tells us that we cannot know if there is a god or not. The
question is inherently undecidable.

Atheism is a denial of belief there is no god

Atheism is the lack of belief in any gods. It makes no statement about
whether gods might exist.

Correct. Words mean things.

So please try to understand why he was not correct.
