Atheism (Agnosticism)

Further reflection: atheism = the disbelief in any god. If you are, say, a 90% atheist and I argue against atheism, I am arguing against your 90%. Your remaining 10% is not atheist. However, when I say "Atheists believe XYZ", you will say you are an atheist but not a dogmatic atheist (you are 90%) and my generalization is wrong. I'm not sure how to get round this. Any suggestions?
