Why atheism always has a burden of proof

[Vincenzo Vinny G.]

Are you an atheist poe? How old are you?

Just because you have a problem understanding the difference between KNOWLEDGE and BELIEF doesn't mean you have to take your ignorance out on others.

Let me spell it out for you.

I do not claim to know, with absolute certainty, that a god or gods do not exist. This defines me as agnostic.

Since there is insufficient evidence and reasoned argument to support the claim that a god exists, I do not hold the belief that they do exist. This defines me as an atheist.

What don't you understand?

I don't understand how you can get the first part right.

And the second part oh so wrong.

It's like you're calling yourself an atheist theist. As far as common sense is concerned, atheism and agnosticism are mutually exclusive positions.

You not being a theist in practice, or believing in a particular God simply makes you irreligious.
