Do you believe there are no unicorns, leprechauns, Flying Spaghetti Monsters?
Lebperchauns yes I believe they don't exist.
Then fucking prove it. If not you are evading as you are accusing us of doing.

Did it ever cross your mind this may be a result of a lack of evidence rather than any kind of hunch which is basically what belief amounts to?
Of course it did, you just chose to phrase the question that particular way because answering it would mean falsely acknowledging Atheism is a belief system as opposed to plain lack of belief.
That *is* a loaded question and you know it.
I am rather disappointed you resorted to this kind of ploy, it is something many of our more radical theists would resort to. I will not mention names but I believe we both know who I'm referring to and it is definitely not something you want to aspire to.
No, there is weak Atheism, which would say "no".
Strong Atheism is not merely a lack of belief, but belief God(s) does/do not exist. And would say yes.
It's not a loaded question as far I can tell.
All of those classifications are arbitrary, Mystic. Dawkins isn't the be-all-end-all authority on what is atheism. You trying to hold us to this classification as if it were the only way to look at atheism is a fallacious appeal to misleading authority.
