He's not wrong!!!
Ed mate, you're gonna have to stop believing the crap those damned theists have been filling your head with ... atheism isn't a philosophy, it's what you are when you stop believing in god or gods.

My answer would be nothing without good reason (and that always means solid, reproducible evidence).

I'm not saying I disagree, but I'd like to see how far this rabbit hole goes. Would you say that God, defined as a supernatural creator of the universe cannot exist?
Might do, might not ... is there any verifiable evidence for one?

I think the most logical thing to say about reality is that ultimately, it is nature. Wouldn't that be atheism? There is no god, there is only nature. Or are you going to tell me that atheists don't believe nature exists?
Might do, might not ... what other things an atheist believes in is irrelevant to the fact that he/she is or is not an atheist. What do they call them, solipsists? Don't they believe nothing is real (including gods)? I guess they'd be atheists and not believe in nature.

More typically theists quote him out of context.
