We shouldn't put ourselves into categories like atheists. I am just some one who does not believe in a god, just like I don't believe many things. If someone ever asks you if you believe in god, just say no. You don't have to announce to anyone that you are an atheist. Unless however your circumstances require it, but I don't know your circumstances.
But... "no, I don't believe in gods" is the exact same thing as "I'm an atheist."
I'm very confused by what you're saying.
