Depends on the atheist. Most atheists feel absolutely that there is no god or gods, and will even try to prove it so. It's not possible, of course. This is what a fundamentalist does. They try to prove their religion. There are fundamentalists in every religion, including atheism.
There ARE a few atheists that do not try to prove their religion. The allow for the possibility that there is a god or gods. They just happen to believe there isn't one on faith.

They are intolerant of Islam also, which worships God. There ARE those claiming to be Muslim, though, that worship death and war instead, or use it as an excuse to implement dictatorships and oligarchies. There are fundamentalists in every religion. There are those that use religion as an excuse to become dictators and oligarchs too.

I disagree.
They tolerate and support Islam for political reasons. For example, atheist North Korea and atheist China support Iran.
Communist politics abhors religion, ... and atheists support it because of that, but they are willing to tolerate Islam to an extent. And yes, I'm aware of the Uyghurs. Socialists are two faced hypocrites.

Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

I know that there are lib'ruls here who speak in favor of Palestine, Iran and other Muslim nations who deny the existence of God.......I'm not going to hunt down their posts to appease your thirst for knowledge but that doesn't change the fact of their existence.....

That's nonsense. Are there some 'fundamental' atheists? Yes. But atheists make up a large segment of the population. For the most part, you won't notice them BECAUSE they are not fundamental. Atheists don't wear it on their sleeve. Why would they? Atheism is not proactive. I don't believe in God. I don't believe in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy either. It is not an 'active' disbelief. I don't believe in those things because they come from the imagination. So does God.
