Please answer just this one question (I need hard data.)
atheism is:
A. the disbelief of gods
B. the belief that there are no gods
C. Other (explain.)
Please pass this on to other atheists and give them my email. I'd like to be as thorough as possible here.
Thanks,

Answer "A" seems to fit the best. It's the closest to the opposite of religion. Religion tends to focus in on a specific point we know as dogma. Atheism rejects it. Reality is like many other subjects, if you don't see the the whole picture you're likely missing the point.

It is not about belief, but a state of being. From our point of view, EVERYONE is without god. We at least have the guts to SAY SO.
So, I would say "A" after a fashion, but with the notations I've made here.
