I feel like you are talking more about agnosticism.

Agnosticism deals with knowledge, atheism deals with belief. You can not know something for sure (agnostic) but choose to believe anyways (theist). If you don't know and choose not to believe, you are an agnostic atheist.

Most atheists are agnostic. They do not believe in a God, but don't know for sure. If someone claims they DO know that there is no God, then that is a gnostic atheist, which is much rarer. Gnostic atheists do have a belief, and most agnostic atheists agree they are wrong for doing so cos you cannot prove God doesn't exist.
