If a god presented itself to me and demonstrated it's abilities to my satisfaction, then I would believe.
That doesn't mean I would worship it or that I would believe anything that mere humans have written about it.
I would worship it if it told me it would hurt me if I didn't, but I would do so for anything more powerful than me and I wouldn't really mean it.
If someone demonstrated that this god had deceived me with magic tricks I would go back to not believing in it.
I call this 'commonsense atheism'. I don't personally need any other big words or complicated jargon to describe it. :-)
My sentiments, exactly, although, I refer to it as "agnostic atheism" (not knowing and not believing).
