1) If a person believes in the existence of a God (any God), what would you label them?
2) If a person believes that no Gods exist, what would you label them?
3) If a person has no belief one way or the other concerning the existence of Gods, what would you call them?
Perhaps I should comment on the third question (it's the most important for me, anyway). I am not asking about people who are "undecided" about what they believe. The group of people covered by (3) includes those who reject both position (1) and position (2). So whilst some of them could be classified as "undecided", there can exist some who have actively decided to be position (3), as opposed to position (1) or position (3).
Once I understand how you separate people out, I'll be able to better engage you on your assertions
