The problem with defining any sort of atheism is that the definition of god differs depending not only the religion, but the person in that religion you talk to.
Against claims of omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolant gods it is easy to show it's not logically possible. So I would take the stance of hard atheism there, I have no problem saying I know that something that is impossible isn't possible. The idea that if a being created something as complex as the universe it must also be able to do anything is bizarre. The other claims are just as silly.
Against some wishy washy kind of creator thing, no one can know for sure if there is one. And since it appears to have no effect on our universe after it created it, its existence is kind of irrelevant.
The crap that is done in the name of religion is what is relevant.
