Why don't you think what you just said through.

Absence of a claim in this case would be agnostisism, not atheism.

By your logic saying there is not a blue car in my parking lot isn't a claim simply becasue it's a negative statement.

Whether I say there's a blue car there or not, I've made a claim.
