"I believe that there is no God."

That isn't beyond atheism, that is atheism, at least as I understand it.

"I don't believe in God" can be agnostic or atheist depending on the reasoning behind it. The searching for evidence type of person he describes there would, I think, fall more into the definition of agnostic.

I have no problem with anything he says here. I happen to be an intensely religious person, but my religious beliefs are about how I live my life and relate to my family, and not about anyone else.

If his atheism brings him peace and a greater appreciation for life, I say good for him. Those are the same things for which I look to my faith. If he finds that in a different place from me, who am I to say he's wrong?
