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.

Lacking belief and holding no belief in god are the same thing. It is when you are entirely unconvinced that a god exists. This does not mean you are entirely convinced that god doesn't exist.

Saying you believe there is no god means you are convinced that god does not exist.

Okay, thank you! That's what I was thinking they meant, but I wasn't totally sure.
