Really? After all this time, people still try and use this? Agnostic, or weak, atheists are making no claim, so we have nothing to prove. Gnostic atheists and theists are making a claim, so do.
Wait a minute Tobie.
In this dictionary it say................Atheism........Critique and denial of metaphysical beliefs in God or divine beings. Unlike agnosticism, which leaves open the question of whether there is a God, atheism is a positive denial.

.........so a positive denial require a positive evidence.
Oh, now you say that your understanding of atheism does not require any evidence so what shell i do?
