Good question; I strongly assert my disbelief, I cannot state the sentence, and positive claim, "There is no god." Were I to do that, the burden of proof would be on me to prove that there is no god. I simply reject the claim that there is a god. No disclaimer required.

Read above; no disclaimer required. You do not have to assert that there is no god to hold no belief in god. Much like I do not believe in unicorns. I am not an aunicornist nor do I need to study unicornology to refute any claims that unicorns exist. If anyone asserts that unicorns DO exist the burden of proof lies with them.
