"Yeah. I get that. But I've never met a real atheist face to face. All that claim to be turn out to be agnostic.
Well, it's not face-to-face, but I am indeed a committed atheist/Humanist.
BTW, I don't wear my atheism on my sleeve (my Humanism perhaps, and so I only discuss it with those who seem to have some mental acumen and a deep commitment to their "faith". I'm not out to "win converts", but only to offer alternatives. Although I do mention Humanism more often than atheism because that is what I consider myself.
I have lived next door to a minister for 15 years or so and we have never discussed it. He probably suspects it because he picked up my mail when I was on vacation and it had a letter from the American Humanist Association. Then again, a great many religionists don't even know what Humanism is, not to mention the general public.
No, I am not an agnostic. I'm not a fence-sitter. There is no actual objective evidence for the existence of an entity called "God", any more than there is for wood fairies or bigfoot, and thus I don't "believe" in any of them.
