Ah but that is the belief the atheist needs to defend for I would argue that it is key to atheism. It is the philosophical position of the atheist.

I think you're overthinking this. are you an atheist because you don't believe in thousands of other gods except the one you believe in?

For most atheists, sure. But it is possible to be an atheist and not be a metaphysical naturalist. They aren't necessarily mutually inclusive.

For instance, a person could believe in the existence of magic and spells, but not believe in a god. This person would not be a metaphysical naturalist, and would be an atheist (and a weirdo, imo )

At any rate, our discussion is just about what atheism is and isn't. We aren't discussing whether it's right or wrong.
