Believing all those things is a prerequisite to stop believing in God.

No, it isn't.

It's also not required that one "stop believing in god", incidentally. Some of us never believed in god in the first place.

Unless you choose to disbelieve just for the sake of it. In that case that would make you ignorant.

So you admit that if one is ignorant, then one can be an atheist and not believe those things? You have just nullified your entire point.

All that is required to be an atheist is that when you are exposed to the claim "god exists", you can't come up with any convincing reason to believe it. It's really that simple.

If you don't believe the universe is a product of an intelligent mind. Then by default you're accepting that it's possible for nothing producing everything, non-life producing life, randomness producing fine-tuning, chaos producing information, unconsciousness producing consciousness, and non-reason producing reason.

It's no different to you calling theists ignorant for rejecting evolution despite the evidence.
