A true A-theist wouldn't express ANY opinion on the existance of God.

Only ANTI-theists feel that need. And in so doing, they are expressing their beliefs about God, ironically becoming theists, expressing a theology.

There's strong atheism (I assert that no God exists), and then there's weak atheism (I have no belief in God).

I subscribe to the latter, myself.

On asking an atheist if God existed, if he had an opinion I see no reason why he would not express it and if he had no opinion, seems to me that would make him an agnostic.

“And in so doing, they are expressing their beliefs about God, ironically becoming theists, expressing a theology.”

That I agree with.
