Seems like you're twisting yourself in knots here to be honest. Any time an assertion is made, the burden of proof is on that claim. So for example, if someone says they have fairies at the bottom of their garden, it's not a belief if you or I might think it's a load of bollocks.

It's impossible to prove a negative, so I can't prove that there are no fairies, but I can choose not to believe it because there is no evidence for it. That's atheism.
