Most atheists are agnostic atheists that do not accept the proposition that a god or gods exist. They make no claims.

Theist: There is a god. (claim)

Atheist : I'm not convinced. (Rejection of the claim)

Because society is so heavily influenced by god belief, there exists a term for those that reject the god claim. Most do not believe bigfoot exists, but there's no special "abigfootist" word for the same exact position about not believing in a god. And people don't go yelling at "abigfootists" to prove bigfoot does not exist.

There are some atheists that claim there is no god, and that would absolutely require evidence.

I thought they were different, i.e.
atheist:

  1. One who disbelieves or denies the existence of a God, or supreme intelligent Being.
    And agnostic:
  2. One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God. 
  3. One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism.
