But Chad's point is that it's inconsistent to define atheism in the neutral, even handed, agnostic atheist way you have and then turn around and assert that religion is bullshit. Apparently, for you, there is plenty of evidence for arguing that gods do not exist (assuming this is what you mean when you say religion is bullshit). That puts the onus on you to provide some evidence for this claim of yours. Probably ought to start by defining "god" and "bullshit". Good luck.

Don't be silly. Of course if one rejects the belief in any gods, then one considers religion and its claims as bullshit.

god: Any gods ever defined
bullshit: your statement
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
