Not really..
Atheism doesn't require you to actively reject any gods/deities/supernatural bollocks (that's anti-theism). Atheism is simply not having beliefs. To use the football analogy: Atheists don't follow football at all. Anti-theists don't like football and don't think any team is worth following. Agnostics don't think we can know which team is right to follow.

This is a common atheist argument.
In fact, atheists believe that there is no God.
That belief is not based on provable fact, any more than Hindu or Abrahamic religions are - it is faith based.

Almost all faiths can quite easily be disproved with facts.

Yes, they belive in science, which is provable fact. The fact that the word 'probably' is used is because there is no proof that any non-spacific entity lives in the sky making everything happen.
So, they're saying, prove it and we'll believe as well. But until you can.....

No, they are saying
Prove it or we will ridicule you.
I would feel the same about someone who said 'prove that there is no God or I shall ridicule you'.

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree then...
...as I don't consider the lack of a belief the equivalent of an active disbelief.
