Knowledgeable strong atheists have conviction. When it comes to religion, we are all born ignorant. But strong atheists can learn God is a failed hypothesis and no longer be called ignorant.
You make me cringe. It is this sort of drivel that invites all the theist charges that atheism too is a religion. But you, Cheerful Charlie, are about as religious in your conviction as many fundamentalists. Like them you place a high value on the maintenance of certainty. I suspect you just need seasoning.
