I find most atheists are satisfied just having someone deny religious faith, even if they don't buy in with atheistic faith. It's kind of like a 'well, at least you're not on their side' reaction. Similarly, I think most religious folk are placated by an agnostic denial of atheism as well.

Really, I find the agnostic 'meh, what do I know?' approach just makes it a lot easier to get along with people.
