Atheism does not require any proof because it is not a claim.
Everybody is an atheist.
Do you require proof for your lack of belief in the flying spaghetti monster that is omnipotent, Omniscient and loves you?
Atheist is how you are born, theist is how you are brainwashed to become unless you are smart enough to see through the deception or find help from people that give real answers(like atheists).
Agnostic goes hand in hand with atheism since most atheist are Agostic-Atheists.
They are not the same though.

syed, i do not follow you entirely. armin's write-up that jeff has linked you to may be a good read for you.
i have a question for you though: you cannot proof god's existence. does that make you agnostic?
debapriya....you could not refute my statement:fore telling of prophet Muhammad' advent in all major religious scriptures. pandit Sri sri Ravi Shankar accepted that in Bhavishya Purana, the coming of prophet Muhammad is written. Please Google[youtube].If you watch Dr Zakir Naik[Peace TV],you will get convinced about existence of God. You did not reply to my report: World famous atheist Anthony Flew became ''Believer in God''--Deist. I too was atheist/Agnostic for 2 decades but by GRACE of Allah/ONE-God I am now a believer-Al hamdulillah. Hope Allah will guide you if you are sincere in seeking TRUTH...Salam /Peace to you ,our sister in humanity..please take care of yourself...Peace to you, once again.
"as you can not give a perfect proof for atheism,you should not call yourself atheist.it will be better and appropriate to call[claim] agnostic"
Obviously false. Atheism is a statement about belief, while agnosticism is a statement about knowledge. I am both: Atheist because I am free from belief in any deities to which I have been exposed, and Agnostic because I lack knowledge to be 100% certain of my position. Nobody on the planet - including you - has actual knowledge of deities, making everybody an agnostic regardless of claims to the contrary. Faith is belief (theism), not knowledge (gnosticism).
