Perhaps there are varying degrees of atheism. The "atheists" I've encountered work very hard to back up their point of view, and will fight tooth and nail to "convert" others to their way of thinking.
evolution has nothing to do with atheism.
It seems that the majority of Atheists I encounter wholeheartedly believe in evolution, and most evolutionists deny that there could be a God.
For a famous example see Richard Dawkins, who is my image of an Atheist
So you're saying atheist live their life with no belief in a god? Well that's
the definition of an atheist. They have no belief in a god.
Exactly, and that belief affects every action in their lives.
So if you don't believe aliens exist it's a religion?
If you spend your life trying to convince others that they don't exist, and go on and on with "proof" that they don't/can't, and hold that no other view could possibly be right... then yes.
