soft/weak atheism/agnosticism (=disbelief in God)
strong/hard atheism (= belief that there is positively no God)
The fact that most atheists here are soft atheists, doesn't mean we should eliminate the other subset of atheism from the dictionary.
And needless to say that hard atheism is not rational.
As a "soft atheist", I do not think it irrational to say that there is no God to the same extent that there are no fairies, pixies, leprechauns, unicorns, etc.
