Agnostic atheists and gnostic atheist both do not believe in gods, the difference is a gnostic claims to know and an agnostic doesn't claim to know, but the fact that they are atheist means they both lack the belief. Theism and Atheism address what you believe and Gnosticism and Agnosticism address knowledge.In this sense I also lack belief, but it goes further. That doesn't mean we should define atheism as being just a lack of belief because atheism can be more than that. Defining atheism just as a lack of belief in gods doesn't represent all atheists in the world
Yes actually it does because someone who doesn't believe in a god is an atheist, that is the only requirement to being an atheist.
