It is however the main claim of which all other claims are derived.
"If the hypothetical existence of a God is grounded on these claims, it becomes quite reasonable to state 'there is no God (based on these assertions)."
It is quite clear that the statement "there is no god." is a reaction to the central claim (namely the existence of some vague, powerful being), and not a reaction to the nature of reality. This should quite obvious.
"It is impossible to prove a negative with direct evidence, which is always gleefully mentioned by both religious people and PC agnostics."
False. It is impossible to prove a negative, period.
"I don't get the idea you are religious,..."
I'm not, I'm an agnostic atheist.
"...so I don't really get why consider this detail so important."
Because people like you seem to be unable to grasp the concept that the impossibility of proving a negative, negates the positive claim of the nonexistence of god.
Now, there might be atheists out there who will in all honesty say: "There is no god." This just negates the notion that atheists are all intelligent people.
Furthermore, you might have noticed a distinction between the politics of fundamental theists (who more often than not claim to have a personal connection to their spiritual leader) and those who have a vague belief in a diety and belief in concepts as faith but simultaneously have an understanding of the benefits of the separation between church and state. More often than not, the latter group seem to be more tolerant of other viewpoints.
If this true about dogmatic theists, than I do not see why this could not be true about dogmatic atheists.
