If I believe in God, evidence is everywhere. If I don't, it isn't. I'm pretty sure you didn't need that pointing out to you. If you were expecting verifiable evidence of the transcendental... may I recommend counselling.

The position of lacking a belief in a deity is logical due to the lack of verifiable evidence of one. It doesn't dismiss such deity, simply is a lack of belief in it. Hence to a logical mind, one does not believe in a god. Since you stated that belief has a non-verifiable clause, which is inherently impossible to verify and hence a lack of belief is the only logical course (indecision until evidence is provided to make a decision), it appears to me that a logical being does not believe in any deity.

Disbelief is no more logical than belief. That you choose to use illogic to support you position doesn't make it stronger.

I bolded my previous statement as you demonstrated you do not appear to have comprehended it correctly.

It isn't disbelief, as disbelief is an active rejection of something by virtue of it being untrue. It is simply a lack of belief, which is the act of not making a decision on believing or rejecting thereof. Since the broad definition of atheist defines a lack of belief in a deity (not active acceptance or rejection), I have defined the logic in being atheistic.

Because some wish to actively believe there is no god, the association strong atheist is used to denote such, leaving terminology such as agnostic atheist for the statement that there cannot be a decision made on whether or not deities exist, therefore the correct action is to wait until enough information is accumulated to make a decision.

Therefore agnostic atheism is a logical position, while agnostic theism isn't, as agnostic theism has taken the action of believing, while agnostic atheism is a statement that no action has been taken.

In effect, agnostic atheism is a request for evidence and information on a deity with no action taken [belief and disbelief is nonexistent].

My statement is strong and logical.
