I have no experience with real-life atheists, but internet atheists do be like that.
As an internet and real-life atheist ...yeah. Most atheists just don't talk much about their non-belief, because there isn't much to talk about, so in dedicated atheism communities, you mostly see those that are almost anti-theist...
Most people are probably agnostic anyway
The distinction is just semantics in my mind, too, yeah. I hold the same position as agnostics, in that I do not believe this whole god concept can be disproven, because it is not rigorously formulated like a scientific thesis.
But I put that as "I do not believe that there is a god" and respectively I call myself an atheist, because well, there's many other things which cannot be disproven, like for example Big Foot.
And if a kid were to ask me, whether Big Foot exists, I'm not going to lead with "we really can't know". That's just misleading.
I guess, agnostics differentiate between gods and Big Foot, because there's so many more people who are convinced of these gods' existence. But yeah, I don't do that either, because I've seen how many people are willing to believe climate change isn't real. Lots of people believing something is just not an argument to me anymore.
Neither atheism nor any "real religion" has to do anything with proving. Agnostics: there might be a god, but I do not know ... never saw one! Does that count? Atheist: I am convinced there are no gods (but can not prove it: how the funk do you prove a non existing?) Bottom line, I do not care. Just like an Agnostics, I am just convinced and he leaves it open to surprise, when he dies ... or when ever he meets a god(dess).
And I most certainly have not any desire to convince a believer that his believes are BS. Because: I am an Atheist: I do not fucking care about his/her believes!!
Well yeah, most theists and atheists are agnostic.
Which makes it a rather pointless label.
Yes, you do, they just don't tell you because why would they talk about something they either have zero interest it, or a past where they believed but then figured out it wasn't believable anymore for them?

irl atheists are normal ass people 90% of the time. 10% or so are loud edgelords who (usually) grow out of it as they develop the capacity for empathy in their mid-20s.
online captial-A Atheists are a cult of evangelistic reactionaries who need therapy.
