Well, you included my response to the OP and in my response were words in quotes, so I got confused there when you asked for citation for the quotes.

You can find many short and long vidoes of top scientists and other famous people like Christopher Hitchens make atheistic statement - there isn't a proof for a soul and unicorns and therefore it doesn't exist. But its a stupid statement because maybe souls and magical unicorns exist if your agnostic.
Look it up on YouTube I wont bother copy pasting, sorry.
I think atheistic position is stupid when you have agnosticism.

You are misusing words, or using different definitions for words. Most atheists are also agnostics. I explain all this in a video.
You also seem to be ignoring us. No one gets to speak for all atheists. They are not atheistic statements, they are sceptic statements. And no, they don't say "they don't exist" they say it's reasonable to either doubt their existence, or believe they don't exist.

I think the atheist position is perfectly valid.
All it means is that someone does not have a belief that gods are a thing.
I for example do not currently believe in god/gods making me an atheist.
Do I know that there is no god? I'm pretty confident there isn't, but if anyone comes up with convincing enough evidence for a god then I'd have to accept it.
Wont happen though will it.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Oh is THAT your deal? You're an agnostic who think atheists are stupid? That's cute.
HEY GUYS! THIS AGNOSTIC OVER HERE THINKS WE'RE DUMB!
See? Nobody cares.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)

Here are my videos where I explain what scepticism is, and why I think it's important.
If you continue to talk as if atheism and scepticism are the same, you're wilfully ignorant and I'll ignore you.

The Hindu version of reality?
I thought there is only one really real reality? The natural universe.
That's the one which you don't need to have belief in, because the facts talk for themselves. If you have to have belief, you're probably religious.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

You cannot believe that "they don't exist". Unicons, dragons and aliens can live on other planets, but the problems is that - who give damn, fuck em.
But when believer comes up to you and says that your ass might be grilled in hell for your sins, and not worshipping God to enjoy lust is a sin too. And this kind of mindblowing stuff mindrapes and puts people in irattional and comfy position of atheists where they bury skepticism and chant sad mantra "it doesn't exist"(because I dont like its bitterness) which is bullshit.
