As to every god I've ever heard about, I am convinced they do not exist. I suppose, in fairness, I can't be an atheist about gods that I haven't heard about yet. If you really want to claim a point against my atheism because I haven't dismissed the existence of a new religion to be formed in the future, then bully for you.

No, that's incorrect. I'm sure most atheists would happily convert to some religious sect if they could be shown evidence and proof that such religion is correct. As all evidence that has been accumulated points against the existence of any god, it requires no faith to be an atheist, just an understanding of the evidence.
