Many of us are quite aware of it.
You, on the other hand, are abusing it.
Theism: I believe a god exists.
Atheism: I do not believe god exists.
The only excluded middle is a product of your own imagination.
I am a theist, and I don't believe God does not exist. Your problem is you don't understand basic semantics. And you don't recognize and establish the framework of logical absolutes before you developed a hypothesis.
Either God exists or does not exist, there is no possible third alternative. Just as either the Giants or the Royals could win the world series (Law of excluded middle). If you don't believe the Royals will win, you must believe the Giants will win, you have no choice in this dichotomy. Even if you never say "I believe the Giants will win", you inadvertently positively assert that position my claiming you don't believe the Royals will win.
You refuse to acknowledge the ultimate outcome of your hypothesis if your position is correct (i.e. God does not exist). However if God can exist, then atheism can be wrong, and this renders your position of atheism to a unscientific subjective philosophy and not a logical one.
