Is atheism just the mere belief that there is no god, or is it in actuality the assertion that there is no god?
Atheism is in itself a lack of belief in the god claims. Meaning atheists aren’t convinced of the gods being real.
Having said that:
- You will find atheists who say that they believe that there is no god.
- You will find atheists who aren’t convinced but think it is highly unlikely that there is a god (not necessarily one that has been proposed but any kind of god)
- And you will find atheists who say for sure there is no god.
I fall under the second bracket, I don’t claim that there is one. But I don’t believe in your gods. Any of them. And I think it is highly unlikely that there is one but it is a vast, vast universe.
