Most atheists aren't 100% sure, and even the ones who are strongly atheist will usually qualify their atheism with regards to specific gods.. I.e. they may be very confident that the God of the Bible does not exist, but are less so about a theoretical hands-off God that created the universe and then left everything on its own (for example). This is because in the case of the God of the Bible, there are very specific claims made about God that can be evaluated. So an atheist of the God of the Bible may be agnostic to other gods but atheist about that specific God.
