Correct. As an agnostic atheist I don't claim 100% certainty that there isn't a god. I do leave open the possibility that there might be a god. You'll find that a large majority of atheists don't claim 100% certainty that god does not exist. Gnostic atheists maybe but not agnostic atheists like my self.
I'm always open to other possibilities no matter how improbable. I'm open to the possibility of the existence of god, it's just that I don't believe that there is one, due to lack of evidence.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
