Atheism is a belief, however it is NOT a belief system. Atheism does NOT just reject the theist theory based on lack of evidence. It goes on to say that they are, in fact, wrong. As Matt pointed out, Agnostics are the ones who withhold belief.
So its a "belief" there arent any pink unicorns in outer space?
Atheism denys the existance of god for lack of evidence just like people reject the belief that pink unicorns exist due to lack of evidence.
I think the whole agnostic thing is just an appeasement factor.....its open to the possiblity? What does that mean really? It means when you can offer up evidence they will believe it, until then they will simply put in terms that make people who DO believe feel less challenged by their lack of belief.
