Clearly you don't understand what atheism is or logic for that matter. When a claim is made, the default and logical position is to withhold belief until the burden of proof is met, that is to say: sufficient evidence is presented for that claim.
Atheism is not a belief, it is a lack of belief.
Example:
I tell you that I'm good friends with Brad Pitt. Naturally, you are skeptical of my claim, you aren't convinced just by my words and so you don't believe me. That is not to say that you believe that I'm not good friends with Brad Pitt, you just don't believe that I am either. The position you are taking, is the atheist position.
Until I provide evidence of my association with Brad Pitt (maybe some photographs of us together in various locations) you would be perfectly justified in not believing me.

Well you do, so I guess that makes you really stupid.

You don't get to claim your words as proof of anything. Thats all they were: words.
