On the subject of atheists and whether they have a definite concept of god, etc etc ---
well, atheists are (in my experience) dogmatic that they are sure there is nothing to
the universe(s) except something like matter, energy, space and time (or a quantum
field, vectors in Hilbert space, or whatever). That is, they - or at least the more
vocal ones - appear to be convinced that there can't be anything beyond a materialist
conception of reality.
Whether Hilbert space is a material seems doubtful. What you're saying is that they
(dogmatically?) reject the supernatural.
Or at least that's how they tend to come across. As though they've made their
minds up.
Is you mind uncertain about the Abrahamic god? The Hindu gods? The Olymbian and Nordic
gods? Is being certain the same as being dogmatic?

"There's no god - get over it and enjoy your life" or words to that effect.
This is of course very similar to a religious viewpoint; it certainly doesn't adhere to
the scientific method of theories being provisional.
So Bruno may have a point.
