Atheism isn't about proving the non-existence of god(s), it just means you don't believe they exist.
And what do you mean do I consider myself a "true" believer? You mean a true NON-believer? Here is a "true" non-believer: an atheist that doesn't believe in god, there simple as that. You are starting to sound like the religious to be honest, the way you are phrasing things.
Yes, this is what bothers me. It is all about proof, since I was in science in grade school I have applied the scientific method. When I say you are a true believer I mean to imply that you do believe there is no god, right? And you are 100 percent on your assumption? Take it from a person on your side of the line, it's not easy believing in not believing. There is no 100 percent and it is the duality of the entire preposition of proclaiming our faith in the lack of faith for any diety that perplexes me.
