Why assume it doesn’t?

To be precise, I'm not assuming that the supernatural doesn't exist. I simply have no belief that it does. This illustrates the difference between weak and strong atheism.

Weak atheism (my position): a person does not believe in the existence of any deities, but does not explicitly assert there to be none.

Strong atheism: a person asserts that no deities exist.
