Defining Atheism as a Positive Claim

Many of us have noticed a new definition. Proagnosticism is the claim that they do not know if God exists. But the reason we see a change in atheism is because they want to avoid having to actually give an account for what they state.

Because the statement that they're defining atheism as a lack of belief in God, and they argue that they no longer have to, because they only lack a belief, and that they're taking a negative argument, the reality is negative arguments can be proven, whether right or wrong.

If I take the negative position that there's no rice in China, all I need to do is show some rice in China, and then I have proven that the statement is wrong. So to say that I lack a belief in God is not valid.

In fact, nobody makes any decisions or actions based on a lack of belief. They always make decisions based on a positive belief. And when those who profess to be atheists go out and write blogs and books and do things like that, they're doing it on a basic belief that is positive about what they do believe.
