I would never say I lacked belief in gods because that would be like saying "I don't believe in them enough"
I have no belief in gods, my belief is absent.

And I note that the verb "lack" says "be without or deficient in" but the noun does not and the general connotation of "lack" is "lacking in" or "not enough" rather than "absent of" or "without".
