Exact reason why there is no actual consistent non-contradictory atheism view, only agnosticism and theism can be logically sound.

Agreed.

It is also often a very bold claim to say "There is *no* evidence for X." The cases where you can truly say that are rare compared to how easily people (esp. non-experts) will say it. More often, it's more accurate to say, "I don't believe the arguments for X or evidence of X."

Absence of evidence after you've spent a lot of effort looking for evidence IS evidence of no X.

After doing a lot of research into homeopathy we are now very confident that it does not work and cannot work.

How do I downvote this? You went to high school and learned the definition of a null hypothesis?

And yet, people confuse the two.

"There is no evidence for life elsewhere in the universe."

"So you believe we're alone in the universe?"
