I Am An Atheist

What are the differences, if any, between the statements "I lack a belief in a god," "I believe there is no god," and "I don't believe in a god" ?

I've heard people say they have different meanings, but they seem to mean the same thing to me.

they all mean the same thing. if you don't believe there is a God, you believe there is no God. that's your rational conclusion based on the evidence. don't let theists trick you into thinking that belief is faith based and therefore at the same level of their beliefs. the word "belief" does not always imply a guess or superstition. I believe that 2+2=4. I also believe there are no gods. I don't believe in gods.
