I would contest your statement about atheists. It is not a positive belief in a lack of gods (though stronger atheism positions do hold that gods are impossible), but rather a lack of belief. It is the rejection of a positive claim rather than espousing one. I fail to believe in gods, because per my epistemology, insufficient evidence has been presented for me to reject the null hypothesis. It is a subtle but important distinction. But I do admit that at some point it does just become pointless semantics.
