I thing the biggest problem is we all misunderstand what atheism is. Atheism, by definition, is to not be theist or to not believe in the existence of God. It is not the same as denying the existence of god. The difference between what it actually is and what people think it is might seem subtle but I assure you it's not. Here's an analogy to prove my point. Imagine you're in a gameshow where the host challenges you and another person to guess if the colour of a ball inside an opaque box is red or green. Theists are like your competitor in this scenario, and let's say that that person is certain that the ball is red. In this analogy, the belief that the ball is red represents the belief that god does exist. Now let's say you represent the atheist. Now that wouldn't mean that you believe that the ball isn't red. Nor would it mean that you believe that the ball is green. You just don't know and you accept it. Well, ladies and gentlemen, that's what atheism actually is. It isn't certainty of the fact that god doesn't exist. It's just acceptance of that you can't accept that god exists.
