Lots of arguments rely on premises which are self-evident (which that one is not). The argument being made is: If God existed, there'd be good evidence for their existence. There is no good evidence for their existence. Therefore God does not exist.
i.e. you can be an atheist without explicitly denying the existence of divinity Or summed up: "I don't know, therefore I don't believe."

It's what it still means now. Only a minority of atheists actually accept the definition put forth by the "agnostic atheist" crowd. Even Dawkins uses the earlier definition.

And, for the record, I am an atheist. I believe that there is no god. And I'm willing and able to defend my position.
