'I do not believe you have a $50 in your pocket' is a little different from 'I believe you don't have a $50 in your pocket'. With the former statement I am claiming a lack of belief, for whatever reason, in you having a $50 in your pocket. I need to be convinced before I'll believe you have it. Witht the second statement, I'm already convinced you don't have it.
You're not wrong. You're an agnostic atheist: doesn't know, doesn't believe. An agnostic theist doesn't know, but believes anyway. You're an agnostic because you don't know, and an atheist because you don't believe.
Helpful?

I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
