Is 'Strong' atheism weak?

Poll: Is 'Strong' Gnostic Atheism in fact weaker than De-Facto atheism which is entirely based on evidence?
This poll is closed.
Yes. Strong evidence is more unshakeable than an atheist who doesn't know as much of the evidence and believes he 'knows' there is no God

No....100% belief against God is more likely to last longer than atheism which is entirely based on evidence....

Me tooTongue and by the way Dawkins in the God delusion does state what you said Ace....

But basically what I'm saying I don't like the definiton that Gnostic Strong Atheism which 'knows' there are no Gods or atleast 'knows' some of them don't exist....

Because I think that is in fact weaker than your atheism and my atheism....I think de-facto atheism leaning towards gnostic atheism but never reaching it is much stronger than that.

So what I mean is if you and me are strong atheists...that IS strong...but the definition of a Gnostic strong atheist in 'important information for theists' on this site.....is weaker than our less gnostic atheism....so why is that definition called strong and ours called weak?
