This is not true, Atheists position is that there is no God. Agnostics position is that there may, or may not be a God.
In this case, you're talking about Agnosticism rather than Atheism.

The distinction has always been assinine.
An agnostic and atheist both live their lives as though there is no god. Because it is equally meaningless to say "there might be a god" but describe no further characteristics of such an entity, akin to "their might be faires but you can't see them, hear them, touch them and they have no effect on the world in anyway".
People trying who insist on a difference are just emotively trying to find some perceived middle ground from which they will claim intellectual superiority.
My entire point was that some people are able to change their position.
