Weak Atheism commonly is referred to as "agnosticism". Agnosticism also seems to have it's own different definition which is lack of proclaiming to know. So from that perspective you can be Agnostic Theist, Agnostic Weak Atheist, Agnostic Strong Atheist. You can be all three.
But the common usage of the term, is that Atheists believe God doesn't exist, while agnostics don't believe either way.
There is a battle going on about the words. Unfortunately, they don't have a universal meaning.
A lot of weak atheists would rather be called agnostics, and a lot of weak atheists rather be called atheists.
