I shall here use "evolution" in the broad sense, not just biological evolution.
​
If evolution were true, then that would negate a Christian God...
​
If evolution were true, then that would negate portions of the Bible. IF you wish to equate the Bible with a Christian God, then it would also negate a Christian God. But, to me, equating printed material with God sure seems silly.

What atheism is
So atheism is in fact a belief system, would you agree with that?
​
As I (and many others) see it, atheism is both a lack of belief system and a belief system.
​
1) Lack of belief system (soft atheism) - I have no belief in God. This is a personal appraisal and a fact.
​
2) Belief system (hard atheism) - I believe there is no God. I may be wrong, but it is my belief.

​
There is a (sort of?) parallel relationship in theism.
​
1) Belief system ("soft theism") - You believe in God. This is a personal appraisal and (I presume) a fact.
​
2) Belief system ("hard theism") - You believe there is a God. You may be wrong, but that is your belief.
