You do know that you have offered a strawman to attack, do you not?

No I haven't, not all. It is a fundamental part of the issue. How can
you be so overwhelmingly sure that your essential unprovable belief (or
lack of belief if you want to go that route) is the one and only True
One yet you can't prove your lack of belief is any more right than the
other sides is? Especially since many want to say so vicerously and
stridently and with every bit as much as loud as those on the other side
proclaim their's?

Prezactly.

Except that you know that I never made a statement supporting an
essentially unprovable belief. I have stated only that I do not believe
in any gods.

You can no more prove your lack of belief is right and warranted
than the other side can their' is right and warranted.

...and they're willing to shut the other side down to prove they're
right.

I have neither desire nor need to prove that my lack of belief is right.
It is a state of being. Right or wrong is a meaningless assessment of
it.
