 I'm an apatheist who has worked long and hard at not having a belief system. So far I'm down to believing in the Cosmological principle, and cause-and-effect. Everything else I require independently verifiable evidence for.

I am sure this strong weak crap was crafted by theists to be able to
feel better about themselves

I dont even think that is true, you can not in any way be an atheist
and have a belief in any god. Strong or weak doest matter, if you are
an atheist you have no belief in god weather strong or weak
