"Believes there is no God" is an impossible position because the basis on which an athiest believes this is that there is no objective evidence for God in the natural.
Not true. This MIGHT be the reason an atheist believes in no God, but it needn't be!
It might be that the atheist finds even the concept of a god to be illogical. It might be that every concept of God the atheist has seen are ridicolous. there could be many reasons to bleieve there are no gods.

The universe is here and a reason can't be posed as to why that is. Lacking any indication that there is a natural reason, a supernatural reason is equally possible. The athiest plumps for natural but can't say why. Well, he can, but can't give any sound rational basis for it. He believes it, ultimately, through faith alone.
even if this was true - why would that make it an untenable posistion? It still doesn't change the fact that the atheist lack faith in any gods. A faith in other things does not negate a lack of faith in gods!
