Many atheists simply have a lack of faith in a god/gods because they don't think that the burden of proof has been met by the theists. Thats what I am, it really is that simple.
You would be hard pressed to find many atheists that would make the positive claim that god doesn't exist and shift the burden to themselves. If you're going to attack the atheist position at-least don't build up a straw man by saying what you think many atheists have as a position on the debate instead of what they actually say. It says a lot about you and nothing about atheists.
Also the agnostic position is not a point in between atheist and theists, it deals with knowledge claims. You can be an atheist and an agnostic at the same time.
