There are variations. Thomas Jefferson was called an atheist by his political opponents.
And they were correct since he seems to have been a deist, not a theist.
Do you think there is a difference between believing the God of Abraham does not exist and
failing to believe that He does?

To be exact it's the belief that no gods exist, i.e. that "theism" is wrong. But

Yes. Notably. I agree.
It is the fuzzy belief that the Christian God does not exist, together with
