"I get accused of being an atheist because I'm angry with god.  How can I
be angry with something that I don't believe in?  Again, they frame their
argument in they're environment of belief."

Ehhh.  I am sure some say that.  The majority probably don't say anything.
 You only remember the ones who speak.


"Likewise, when someone asserts that atheists say there are no godsÂ…I'm
pretty sure it's not an atheist saying that.  Most atheists I have known,
have chosen logic over faith to come to their conclusions.  "

Sure.  However, if you watch TV, you will see plenty of atheist who do say
there is no God.  Again, it's the ones who speak who get the attention.
 The more inflammatory, the more press.  It's like Westboro.  No
controversy, no attention.

"Proving a negative is not a logically possible.  Inferring from our
current evidence (or lack thereof) that there's not a god is different."

At some point, there is a leap of faith.  The leap may be based on
deliberate considerations based on reason and research, but it is a leap
nonetheless.
