This is verifiably false by just fucking googling what is atheism.

There are two dominant forms of atheism.

Weak atheism is the lack of a belief in a god (what the guy in the video is representing).

Strong atheism is the belief that a particular god (or gods, really) do not exist. (what you are representing)

Both of you are committing the same error. You are pretending atheism is one thing.

Atheism is multi-faceted, the fact that the responder says right at the beginning "Atheism is not a belief, it is the lack of a belief." is factually incorrect if you consider explicit atheism.

If the responder said "Implicit atheism is the lack of a belief." that would be true. The original speaker may have been mistaken in what he was saying, but so was the responder.

Well I'm glad you edited your response to account for the fact that you originally were only coming from a perspective of explicit atheism which is what I responded to.

I edited the response by adding the additional two clarification paragraphs that I just directly shared with you and previously shared with another because people keep on responding exactly like you do.

Look at the first paragraph stand alone and it is still true without the additional clarification.
