Default Re: Logically refuting atheism in favor of agnosticism

Weak atheism: I don't believe in God, but am not certain he doesn't exist.
Weak agnosticism: I don't know for sure whether God exists.
Strong atheism: God doesn't exist.
Strong agnosticism: Nobody can know whether God exists.

You'll notice that "weak" atheism is perfectly consistent with both kinds of agnosticism. "Strong" atheism is presumably what the OP refers to.
