Why do atheist seem to always use negative answers?

I notice atheist seem to always use negatives answer, to questions they don't understand. They seem to say God is a myth or a fairytale. God don't exist the bible is a bunch of fairy tales. They aren't real. God is a fake. And various other answers. Just because they don't understand, or they are afraid to say that they just don't understand. Or they don't want others to know they are looking for answers. Because their belief has no foundation to stand on. And they know, that they are missing the answers they seek , from within their own belief. If they say that atheism isn't a belief. Then why do they believe in it?

Update:

I proved my point.

    If deep down they didn't believe in God then they would not spend so much time and effort to try and convince people not to believe in something they believe does not exit. No atheist who does is still an atheist at that point.

    It beats using positive answesr for which there is NO supporting evidence, which is what god botherers do.

    -I contend we are both atheists, I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.-

    just in case you are not a troll...

    atheism is a belief, you are correct there,

    it is the belief that there is no god.

    here is where you are wrong.

    if i told you that santa claus was real, but he is invisible would you believe me?

    of course not. you are not stupid. you would tell me that i need to prove it.

    thats because we automaticly start not believing, and someone must prove things before we believe it.

    for instance, when you were a baby, did you know about science? no, your teachers had to show it to you.

    i cant say that i know there is no god, but i can say that no one has shown it to me, and that includes god himself. i used to be a christian, and i am no longer one. There is no reason for me to belive in him.

    atheism means that i be;lieve that you can not show me god, because he is not real.

    that is the belief behind atheism

    Atheism ISN'T a belief, dear. It's the lack of a single belief- the belief in gods. Or do you now consider not believing in unicorns or Santa a belief in and of itself? Is bald a haircolor? Not collecting stamps a hobby?

    Our answers have nothing to do with "not understanding" or "looking for answers". It is entirely about a single fact- that there is not a shred of evidence that any god exists.

    You're projecting what you WANT atheism to be onto us (to try and validate your own beliefs), but it just isn't true dear.

    Because the childish, unsubstantiated claims and outright lies made by many believers in R&S inevitably invite negative answers.

    So. Reality has no foundation to stand on? Seems far more solid than sky cake to me.

    Does your belief in the non-existence of Bigfoot have evidence? Is your lack of belief in Bigfoot a religion?

    "I HATE YOU AND YOUR GOD YOU CAUSED WARS AND THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS AND YOU HURT MY KIND EVEN IF IT WAS 400 YEARS AGO AND DID I MENTION I HATE YOU AND YOUR GOD".

    Thats what it all sounds like to me.
