You don't need to "be completely sure that god isn't real" to be an atheist. It's as simple as "lack of evidence of existence of the supernatural points towards the lack of existence of the supernatural", and from there, it's just "by not believing in the supernatural, and acting all my actions as though there isn't any supernatural, I'm not in a middle position between belief and nonbelief, but fundamentally identical to a nonbeliever"
That's just, like, your opinion, comrade.
The fact that some atheists are from annoying to islamophobic, doesn't automatically make agnosticism a better position. I stand by affirming that lack of evidence points towards lack of existence, not towards "ackchually you can't 100% scientifically confirm that god doesn't exist".
Chill, mate. You started your original comment calling atheism silly, don't get mad when people respond to you in less than kind ways when you insult their system of thought. Thoughts terminating (you're literally saying you won't be reading my previous comment) cliches of "Reddit atheism" don't help anyone. You're not offering great discussion by posting a comment and shutting your ears in an impolite way when you get an answer you don't agree with.
