I believe that I lack a belief in god

It's all really just a play on words isn't it?

I do feel like there's a slightly different meaning between the two statements, but it's minimal.

no a real fantasy would be that the universe came from nowhere. That is what you believe right.

@redshieldshatterer "Lacking a belief in God. Not believing in God. Believing that there is no God. Sounds the same to me."

The first two are the same and the third is different.

There are agnostic atheists who don't believe in any god but don't claim that there can be certainty of their non-existence.

There are gnostic atheists who don't believe in any god and claim that there can be certainty of their non-existence.

The latter then maybe "believes there's no god". The first doesn't.

If the definition of a word is mutable, meaning is not possible .. nor can logic be applied if definitions are not certain. The ability to precisely convey a concept depends on semantics.

A lack of belief in god or not believing in god or no god is a way for creationists to argue the point.

This is because the creationists have no way of proving that there is no god except through a man authored book called "the bible".

Lacking a belief in God. Not believing in God. Believing that there is no God. Sounds the same to me. I think people just like to complicate things when it's really just this simple. It's the same thing.

@gklr Okay, that clears up your position, though it's still nitpicking semantics. As plainly shown with the apple example, you can clearly gain information by specifying something's limits (e.g. "not red", "less than 12" (not greater than 11), not flammable.

It also appears you're using a different version of "atheist" than the literal "without belief in a deity" meaning that most self-identified skeptical atheists seem to subscribe to.
