IMO there is a small difference between never-theist atheists and ex-theist atheists:
The ex-theist atheists usually must be gnostic atheist with respect to their native theism.

It's like viruses:
A person exposed to a virus must develop an anti-virus to be free of infection
A person never exposed to a virus doesn't need an anti-virus and can be simply indifferent to the hypothetical virus

So ex-Christians must be gnostic disbelievers in Christianity but they might only be agnostic disbelievers in Zorastrianism, Jainism, Islam, etc.
