Eg... "We don't believe there are Gods cos no one can prove it".

You got it wrong.  Appeal to ignorance is the attempt to use lack of knowledge to PROVE something is true.

Refusing to believe an assertion because the person cannot prove their assertion isn't an appeal to ignorance.  It's just good common sense.
