Atheist Fallacy
The most egregious Atheist deception is the idea that Atheism is a lack of a belief. While this concept has been addressed elsewhere, it deserves another statement in this article.
Here are the possibilities:
1. The person has not heard of theism and has no position on it. (ignorant)
2. The person has not heard of theism and has rejected it. (impossible)
3. The person has heard of theism and has no position on it. (apathetic)
4. The person has heard of theism and has rejected it. (Atheistic)
5. the person has heard of theism and can't decide, needs more data. (Agnostic)
The idea that an Atheist has no position on theism or God is illogical; it is actually absurd and is a dodge to avoid certain logical arguments...
Declaring that Atheists do NOT reject God and theism is, again, absurd.

This atheist agrees with you. Atheism is a specific belief.
Agnosticism is, perhaps, hedging the bet a bit, but still a statement of belief; also perhaps a statement of no belief.
On the other hand, the argument sounds like a strawman to me. Where are all these atheists claiming that atheism is a lack of any belief?

C'mon over to my place for awhile. They show up there all the time.
