Of course you may choose to interpret words however you wish. However, the convention here is to accept the basic dictionary definition of atheism as 'a disbelief in gods'.
To say assert "there is is no God" or "I believe there is no God" is to make a positive claim,which attracts the burden of proof. This is not a common position here as no one so far in recorded history has managed to prove or falsify the existence of God,. I await your falsification of the existence of God with baited breath.

Don't agree. Many people assert that there is/are no god/s and take on the challenge of arguing it evidentially and logically. I am happy to be called a strong atheist and assert that god/s do not exist and accept I am making a knowledge claim. I don't why we should stop trying to disprove god/s as every advance made in the argument, god morphs into a different shape, occupies a more mysterious realm and smaller space than before. The fact that we may never disprove god to the satisfaction of all should not mean we should stop trying, surely?
