I understand it perfectly well. It's a positive claim.
If you don't believe in God, you have a belief that there is no God. Not believing in something, believe it or not, also means you have a belief about it. This is elementary.
Not having belief in something means that you have a belief that certain something doesnt exist?
I dont believe IN theism, therefore I am an atheist. I believe that theism exist because, well, it does exist. I believe that atheism exists because, well, it DOES exist.
