1). My ‘David Mitchell Doesn’t Understand Atheism (And Neither do Agnostics)’
2). Dave Rubin “The best definition I've found for atheism is that it is not the denial of gods, it is a lack of belief in gods. This is an incredibly important distinction to make.”
3). Cosmic Skeptic (Alex O’Connor) “All atheism is is a lack of belief in a particular deity, chiefly due to lack of evidence.”
4). The Atheist Guy “Atheism is nonbelief in the existence of a deity. It doesn't make assertions and it doesn't in anyway address knowledge. Nonbelief is the default position until the burden of proof is met.”
5). Dusty Smith “Atheism is a lack of belief in gods!”
6). Armoured Skeptic “The definition of atheist is a person who lacks belief, or does not believe, in god. Period.”
7). Paul Provenza on The Rubin Report with David Silverman “I try to clarify this with people who're under the impression, usually with negative connotations, that, you know, atheists think they know there's no god, but really, I really subscribe to the passing of that which is that that's not the case what it is is that it's unreasonable for me to believe there is a god.”

As always, thank you kindly for the view, and I hope that this video helps you defeat those who erroneously assert that atheists have a burden of proof, or that there’s only one true definition of atheism. Stay rational my fellow apes.
