Atheism -"no nod," "religion has no validity," either or neither?

RE: Atheism -"no nod," "religion has no validity," either or neither?
On the whole, you are right. Atheism is lack of belief, not belief of lack, as it were.

Basically, that all of the god claims that have been posited have been short of the evidence required for my belief. It says nothing of my morality or ethics, it says nothing about anything other than that claim.

I am an agnostic atheist, all that it would take for me to believe in a god would be some credible evidence that has no other explanation.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
