But weak atheists may also believe in the possibility of a god although their current stance is that there is no evidence present to suggest that.

Yes exactly, weak atheists do not BELIEVE in a god, whereas strong atheists assert that there is no god. Atheists weak or strong do not believe in god, whereas Deism is a belief in a god.
