The problem is that the strong atheists called themselves just
atheists, and then claim they have no belief, when in fact they
believe in 0 god, unlike agnostic who say: I don't know, give the
definition and the theory.

There are also strong agnostics, i.e. those who hold it is impossible
to know anything about god(s).

I would like to note that in the paper that I have referenced discusses a completely different question. Provided that one could explain religion in the framework of evolutionary advantages, the question arises whether one should also try to explain atheism in the same framework.

In the paper there are references to empirical studies that show that atheists have lower birthrates. Dominic Johnson tries to explain this empirical fact in evolutionary terms.
