<p>Atheism is not the position that no God or Gods exists; rather, it is the position that the theistic God or Gods do not exist. Atheists always base their disbelief on the apparent (in their view) weaknesses of the theistic explanations of God and God's exstence. They say that the explanations of the God or Gods of theism do not make sense; therefore, why should they believe in the God or Gods of theism? Atheists may very well believe in a non-traditional (non-theistic) God, such as Baruch Spinoza or Einstein did -- a "naturalistic" God.</p>
<p>Just clearing things up. For the record, I am a theist (Catholic Christian).</p>
