Not believing IN a god isn't the same as just happening to lack a belief. I'd say most atheists are pretty much "I'm not buying what you're selling." At the very least, they see that religious person carrying their shovel and think "I don't believe I feel like listening to this guy." But I suspect that's because you already suspect you're not going to believe him, and to such a great degree that you aren't even willing to invest in a few minutes to listen to him.
Life's too short for bullshit, and thinking that a religious idea is bullshit is, I'd say, a belief.
