The way see it is that the complete absence of belief in gods and the complete presence of disbelief in gods are identical, since disbelief is itself an absence of belief.
Those are not beliefs. But the belief that God is positively improbable or positively does not exist are beliefs. I believe both of those things but it depends which concepts of gods we are referring to. I believe some versions of god are improbable and others are impossible. Of course, I'm still an atheist because I certainly don't hold any beliefs in god, but I also have positive beliefs about gods non-existence, in addition to my disbelief in gods.
