atheist, Atheism. It doesn't matter to me, but the people who speak of themselves as Atheist(capital fucking A) piss me off for some reason.
And atheism is not tasked with disproving god. If that was the case, then (insert religion here) would be tasked with proving God exists. And no matter what you think, no religion ever tries to prove the existence of their God.

This is a silly statement. That's a problem with the equipment they had at the time, not the scientific method itself.
When what you believe in only relies on Faith, then trying to prove what you believe in ignores the concept of 'Faith'.

this is nearly right -- i'd say that at the time, a scientific method didn't really exist. it was observational study and guesswork, and there often wasn't a clear line between the two.
science is held to a very rigorous and historically unprecedented standard nowadays. when we claim to know something scientifically, we know it. we may learn in the future that it's more complicated than we think, or we have some details wrong, but we know it. not so even a hundred years ago.
