Well as I've said there are two flavors of atheists, those that absolutely don't believe and those that can't disprove a negative. I call them weak and strong atheists, but other people have different meanings for those terms, so I'll have to make up new ones.
Super-Atheism: This is a belief system in which the existence of god is absolutely untrue. One knows totally that nothing beyond what we understand exists, and god does not exist without any margin of error. This makes up a very small amount of atheists, by my rough guess (not verifiable numbers) less than 5% of atheists could be considered a super-atheist.
Scientific Atheism: This is a belief system simply built upon reasonable deduction based on available evidence. Because no credible evidence exists to demonstrate the existence of god, and because there is evidence that god is fictitious, it's unreasonable to absolutely or partially believe in god. If one were to ask a scientific atheist if god exists, the reply would be something like "Almost certainly not." This is a vast majority of atheists.
