I would say that in a world dominated by theistic thought (unless, you're living somewhere in northern Europe) where atheists (at least in the US) are the most distrusted minority that your atheism (whether "weak" or "strong") has its foundation in some underlying principles (or, "stances".)
... but you have no right to say that. You know nothing about why I'm an atheist.
Look: I'm not trying to be argumentative. I just hate it when people don't understand what the word "atheism" actually means.
