Your post that quoted suggests quite the opposite.
Otherwise, your statement is about as useful as saying the sky is blue. Sure, atheists assert things all of the time. So do Christians, Buddhists, Jainists, Jews, Muslims, etc.
That was the point, when atheists make assertions about God or Christians, or anything else it is reasonable to ask them why they believe that! If they call Christians delusional, or claim the Bible is fiction or just stories, then that is making an assertion. I find that many atheists have trouble not making assertions about what they believe (at least on the internets). And many of the same will run to a false equivocation of the definition above, when confronted. While not always it often seems like a cop out. There is a lot of pseudo skepticism around. That was all I was commenting on. If that doesn’t apply to you....then good
