The idea is current that Atheism is not a positive assertion. This is in response to the demand for them to produce evidence or logic to back up their claims, just as that demand is made for Philosophical Materialists to back up their claims. In other words, their denial is a dodge, an intellectual malfeasance in order to avoid ownership, because they cannot produce either evidence or logic in support of their belief system.
Here is a look at real Atheism, and a real Atheist with the intellectual stones to say exactly what she believes, honestly and without dissembling, contrary to the approach of many or even most Atheists today:
It remains perfectly acceptable to request that she provide proof for these statements, evidence for these positions of a type which satisfies her underlying Materialist requirements for knowledge.
