You keep asking for our concept of god. This is nonsense...
We're Atheists! We don't have a concept of god outside the thousands-if-not-millions of god claims that have been proposed by people.
You're the theist. You have the burden of proof. You have to decide which god you're trying to prove.
I think it's rather humorous seeing all the theists come on this forum and start telling us what we believe. Do we tell you what you believe? The correct thing would be to ask what we believe.
Atheism does not say god does not exist. Atheists merely reserve belief until reasonable evidence can be presented. I don't say, "no god exists." You say, "god exists," and I respond with, "why should I believe you?" That is what atheism is. At least, that's how I've come to understand it.
Saying god does not exist is antitheism or strong atheism. But that statement doesn't encompass all of what atheism is.
