Atheism, in it's weak form, is the lack of belief in god. It is not a statement of positive knowledge. Most atheists are agnostic atheists, which means that they don't know whether or not god exists (the agnostic part), but have no belief in god/gods. This is as opposed to fideists, who don't know whether or not god exists (they have no positive knowledge), yet belief in god anyway (ie, they have 'faith').
