Based on what evidence exactly? That is not my experience, nor my position as an atheist.
My position and experience is that most atheists avoid making claims, as to do so attracts the burden of proof. Instead , I and others say only that "I do not believe". This a statement of position, not of belief .
Of course I realise that your direct experience with atheists may well be far in excess of mine. I would be grateful if you could let me know the factual basis for your generalisation.
