I don't think anyone can open that tin yet.
And I believe there are people on both sides who don't want it opened.

I'm not sure this analogy works. I don't have a firm belief in no cake, I just have not been provided with enough evidence to suggest there is one.
This is how I see my atheism, I only see the need to define myself as an atheist because of the prevalence of religious belief within society. I've never seen it as a belief position, it's the default before evidence is provided much like anything else I have no belief in.
