London has an atheist church? Geez! Atheism is the opposite of religion. It is a LACK of belief. I'm atheist because I don't believe the claims of the church but I'm not making any claims myself. For all I know, there might be a god. The evidence just doesn't support it right now.

no, Atheism is the belief in the lack of a higher power. Agnosticism is the lack of belief (or belief in lack of capacity to choose....).

Strong atheism is the belief in the lack of a higher power. Weak atheism is the lack of belief. Agnosticism is the lack of proclaimed knowledge, regardless of belief.
