Atheists are people that bust religious peoples balls over believing in God when there is no proof, completely forgetting that there is no proof God doesn't exist as well.

That's not atheism. Atheism is simply that you won't believe blindly in something unless there are proofs. If there are proofs that God exists then I'll accept it because there's a proof of it.

But so far there isn't and no religion has proved it yet.


That is way too broad of a definition for atheism. I can think of a number of theologians who would qualify as atheists under that definition. That definition is closer to applying to something like rationality, but atheists do not have a monopoly on rationality.
