Athiest are no different than the radical religious. Just on different ends of the spectrum.
Agnostic is a better path. It allows you to keep an open mind and continue the search for the truth.

Not really. Do you believe in leprechauns who hide in the forest and have pots of gold?
If the answer is no, you should realize that the existence of leprechauns has never been disproven - mainly because it's impossible to disprove. The reason you don't believe is that it seems
very unlikely based on the information you have.
The same goes for religions. They all have a very low probability of being true based on the information we have right now.
Atheism doesn't mean knowing for sure no God exists, it just means not believing one exists. If additional information becomes available, that position could change, just like with any other belief you have.
