No, actually, it doesn't. Lacking belief in god and claiming knowledge of god's non-existence are not mutually exclusive. If you believe that god does not exist, then you must necessarily lack a belief that s/he does as well.
But when someone asks me to define my atheistic position/state of mind, I will happily say that I reject god claims (and additionally that I reject supernatural claims as well)
