Congratulation...maybe.

Being a strong atheist does.

I consider possibilities that many atheists are necessarily unable to take
into consideration. I consider the ONE possibility that strong atheists are able
to consider, plus quite a few more that they are not able to consider.

Here's a basic clue for you: If there were no evidence that God exists, no
one would believe that God exists. I doubt you'll ever be able to get as far as
that easy basic aspect of the situation, but no one would believe in God if
there were no evidence none the less.

It does if God exists, almost certainly even if he's not aware that this
planet exists.

An agnostic might too, but you can't get that far.
