This is false dichotomy and false equivalence. The absence of belief in deities is neither equivalent to nor incompatible with belief in the absence of deities. Your position is sloppy and lazy thinking.

Atheism is NOT the lack of belief in a deity figure, no matter HOW modern atheists try and make it so. The lack of belief in a deity figure is far closer to agnosticism.
The simple roots of the word atheism, and historical usage of the word until the last decade or two is the denial of possibility of the existence of a deity.
The above is the definition by which I crucify (lol) atheism on the same cross with jesus.
