Is Lack of Belief the Best You Can Do?

[KevinM1]

As a believer I still like to follow the musings of the "opposition". Occasionally I find positions with which I agree. Even before reading this article, I adopted a signature mocking the idea that atheism is simply a lack of belief. I have posted this link as an invitation to discuss the points raised by the author who just so happens to be an atheist:

One can lack belief as well as actively disbelieve in the claims made/asserted/evidenced given.

I lack belief in deities of all creeds, colours and beliefs. I actively disbelieve in every god hypothesis given to me to date owing to lack of evidence that meets my minimum threshold.

This.

I actively disbelieve every deity presented to me because they're a mass of self-contradicting assertions with no verifiable backing evidence.  

Regarding some undefined (rather than ill-defined) deity, I see no reason to think one exists.  That said, I retain the right to change my mind in light of new evidence.
