My view and reasons for them. Atheist and Christians welcome here. (short)

I suppose it might help if you told me some of the different kinds of atheists.

Well, there's three four categories, depending on how strong the stance is the particular atheist takes.

Agnostic atheist 1: Has no belief in God, but has no belief that there isn't a God either. Undecided. This is all you can assume about any particular atheist unless they tell you otherwise. (Sometimes referred to as "weak atheism"). Probably the most common atheist.

Agnostic atheist 2: Believes there is no God, but doesn't claim to know for sure. (Sometimes referred to as "strong atheism").

Gnostic atheist: Claims to know for sure there is no God. (Also sometimes referred to as "strong atheism", so be careful.) By far the least common atheist, in my experience.

That's it. There's no requirements to believe anything else, to hold any opinions on anything, or support any particular causes.

Of course, every individual atheist will have their own beliefs and values, just as theists will, so it's best to simply ask rather than assume.

PS: I forgot one category, which is ironic since I'm in it.

Ignostic atheist: Thinks the term "God" is essentially meaningless, and is too vague and tailored to individual theists to make any conclusions about. It's unfalsifiable at best and incoherent at worst.

I may as well complete the set while I'm at it. The remaining two categories people can be in are:

Agnostic theist: Believes there is a god but doesn't claim to know for sure.

Gnostic theist: Claims to know for sure there is a god.
