And this annoys me
By believing there is no God, you're almost as bad as the religious types (not to mention opening a crack into which the "atheists have as much faith as the religious!" argument can be shoehorned): you're communicating something as fact which you could never possibly know. No intellectually honest atheist can state "there is no God".

On the other hand, not believing in God fulfils the definition of atheism in a logically sound and more than acceptable way.

Surely
any "intellectually honest atheist" can state, "there is no reason to have even the slightest suspicion that any sort of god exists as there is not the slightest shred of evidence for this theory".

If you were to come up with any credible evidence of a god being, then most people who are simply arguing in this fashion and are not actually just anti-organised religion, would consider it.

But there isn't any credible evidence, so there is no reason to think that any sort of god being exists.
