As an agnostic, I don't know whether or not there is a God.
As an atheist, I don't believe there is one.

And as an agnostic atheist, I lack any sort of belief in any sort of gods due to lack of evidence. I have no positive proof they don't exist, but the lack of any sort of verifiable evidence does the hard work for me.

I don't not believe in all gods becuase I don't know all gods that have been (will be) proposed. But as to the abrahamic ones, again, the lack of evidence does the hardwork for me.

There is no 'belief in non gods', at least not as far as I personally am concerned. That is simply a redefining of the term to make it on par with the positive claims of theism and theists.

As always, qualia soup explains my position perfectly:
