So where does atheists stand now?
No where. Atheism defines absolutely nothing about a person, let alone a class of persons, aside from one non-belief. You seem to have a hard time wrapping your head around the idea that atheists as such are making no claim. We simply aren't accepting one particular claim. That isn't, or at least need not be, because we are making a counter claim. There are strong atheists but they are relatively few and I leave it to them justify their position. It isn't mine.

Obviously no. I guess you think because we would cease to exist as such, atheists have a stake in keeping the conflict going? That so makes no sense. I'd be very happy to drop atheist from my list of descriptors. It tells you so little about who I am or what I care about. It wouldn't be missed. And I'm not a special case. This is the reality for most of the atheists I've encountered on this site.
Do you even register who people are or what their actual claims might be here? Or are you so agenda driven that all you can see is what confirms your pre-existing assumptions while attempting to poke holes in anything which doesn't fit?
