Rejecting a claim is not the same as claiming that it's false instead.

This is a foundational concept in debating. If someone makes a claim, I don't have to claim that it's false. All I have to do is not believe it if the person making the claim hasn't made their case.

I do not believe gods exist. However, I also do not claim that no gods exist. Why? Because I don't know.

It's because I don't know that I lack belief. And my lack of belief in gods is what makes me an atheist.
