Quote #1 - Nit-picky semantics...all it meant was that atheists do not believe there's a God. They may be wrong. You certainly can not be trying to tell me that there IS a God, but you don't believe in it ?!? If you don't have belief in a God, you don't think there is a God. The point was that they are going forth from a belief in something they can't know for sure about, which is at a disadvantage when compared to someone who doesn't even waste time believing or disbelieving, but rather admits that we can't know which way to believe.
Quote #2, #3 and #4 - You quoted these in response to my disagreement with this statement of yours:
I have no idea why as they are all about how it's superior to believe in things we can know than to maintain beliefs that may be wrong and can not be proven to be true.
They weren't about distinctions between atheists, they were about the distinction between knowledge and belief.
I am very let down by your "dogged research" because what you are claiming is that I do not understand the distinctions between atheists, but all of those quotes are about how knowing something is superior to believing something.
Agnosticism is about admitting the truth, while Theism and Atheism are about beliefs/disbeliefs, which may be incorrect.
