Atheism actually is a positive belief in the non-existence of god(s). Weak atheism or agnosticism would be considered otherwise. I.E. saying you're uncertain. I guess you could argue only strong atheism is a positive statement, but I'd be inclined to disagree. You reasoned enough to conclude there are/is no god(s), where the former hasn't reached that point. We are essentially born agnostic, to a degree. At least it appears to me that way, as we formulate beliefs later on.
