No it doesn't. It's lack of belief in god.

I’m confused. How can you lack belief in God without automatically believing God doesn’t exist?

Why?

Re: if you do not do the full version of this political quiz and post the results, you have no balls
I guess I should clarify.
You can lack belief in God by not being sure of by not caring whether God exists. But, if you actively reject belief in God, hows that different from believing that God doesn’t exist?

I don't believe in anything. Yes, I fall into more of the agnostic atheist category - maybe a supreme being exists. I don't think one does, but hey I may be wrong.
But if one exists, its definitely unknown to us and is not any of the gods that I've heard of. I reject the idea of god as we humans understand and that earthly religions preach of. That makes me atheist. It's such a broad label - but that's basically what it is, a label. Not a religion, not a belief.

Re: if you do not do the full version of this political quiz and post the results, you have no balls
In any case in my experience most atheists actively believe that there are no supreme beings.

I actively reject a supreme being as presented to me by the many religions of the world. That's way different from considering that maybe a god of some type could exist. I agree that there's no way to prove that.

If you want to know what my idea of God is:

Let's say there may or may not be a criminal.
Atheist: there is no criminal, no evidence points to a crime/evidence points to no crime
Agnostic Atheist: probably there is no criminal, I don't know if there is enough evidence
Agnostic: I don't know whether or not a crime happened, I don't know if there is enough evidence/there might be evidence but it doesn't point either which way, maybe there is a criminal <- neutral
Agnostic Theist: probably there is a criminal, I don't know if there is enough evidence
Theist: there is a criminal, the evidence is incriminating

You can't post the definition of atheism that states "does not believe" and then try to turn that into "believe" somehow lol

Interesting story.
You've played Nier: Automata, right? I feel like you would enjoy the game more than I did.

The Voice said, “And you do not find thought and discovery worthwhile in itself? You do not find it requiring no further purpose?”
“For a finite time, yes. Not for all eternity.”
“I see your point. Nevertheless, you have no choice.”

The Voice said, “I do not wish to constrain you directly. I will not need to. Since you can do nothing but think, you will think. You do not know how not to think.”
“Then I will give myself a goal. I will invent a purpose.”
The Voice said tolerantly, “That you can certainly do.”
“I have already found a purpose.”

Who said being agnostic is neutral? Believing that you don't believe either way is surely a form of belief!
Personally, I'm a third order agnostic. Which means I don't hold any belief over whether I don't hold any belief over whether I don't hold any belief!

Re: if you do not do the full version of this political quiz and post the results, you have no balls
We define an individual to be countably infinitely agnostic iff. for all n they do not hold any belief over the nth order belief

My new theological stance is countably infinite agnosticism, and frankly I implore the rest of you to join me. There really is no evidence to the contrary, and logically the burden of proof is on the rest of you to convince me otherwise.
-
Re: if you do not do the full version of this political quiz and post the results, you have no balls
Okay but I would challenge agnosticism with this:
Are you then also unwilling to say for sure whether Dragons, A Spaghetti God, Fairies, Gnomes, Vampires, Werewolves, Blah Blah Blah insert fantasy thing here exist?
If so, do you even believe anything?
What ARE you sure about the existence of? Do YOU even really exist? Can you say for sure?

Eh it's more of a comment I like to make about the major I study. It mostly has to do with the fact that since politics is a lot more complicated than "left wing vs right wing", and when trying to pinpoint the exact ideologies and ideas you follow, most sites don't really do a good job, just because the only one that can say what you like is you.
Here's a few I took in the last couple of months.
