Thats what many folks here say, but based on my observation over the past 2 years, it seems very much like for most people here it is indeed a strong disbelief, not simply a lack of belief.
Nonetheless, my point still stands, whether it's worded as lack of belief or disbelief.
I would say Atheism takes almost in the form of pride of not knowing the best thing a human can know and witness. Never seen so much pride in not knowing something.
And the proofs regarding God from Aristotle to Aquinas, etc, they are good. But the best argument is the witness argument, because, we breathe it in and out in our language, in the very words "thank you" to each other.
May God unite us all on the mystic link that binds us all and enter us through the gate he has opened for us.
I would say aside from not believing, it's hard commitment against the proofs provided for God. Most Atheists mock these proofs when they are valid, and the premises they dispute are like "who says it's wrong to torture babies" or "who says we have exact value" or "who says there is a right or wrong" or "who says beauty actual has a basis", etc, etc.......
