Interesting that one of you finds the definitions synonymous and the other does not. If you espouse something as false aren't you proposing the opposite to be true? I've had some atheists tell me that atheism is not a belief system. But you believe it don't you?
If they make such a claim, they are not atheists, they are agnostic.

I don't believe there is a god =/= I believe there is no god.
It's the difference in certainty. Most atheistsc will not claim to know there isn't a god, so they will not make claims there isn't one. They will just refuse to accept the claim as true because of lack of evidence.

If you mean to say that both positions are atheism, then yes.
If they make such a claim, they are not atheists, they are agnostic.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
