These are fine distinctions, but some philosophers define a range of beliefs:

Thiest - certain that god exists.

Weak thiest - acknowledges that one can't be certain, but believes.

Agnostic - neither believes nor disbelieves.

Weak atheist - acknowledges that one can't be certain, but disbelieves.

Strong atheist - certain there is no god.

As you can see, "weak atheists" hold the middle ground - in fact, most atheists are probably weak atheists - they acknowledge that certainty isn't possible, but it is very unlikely that god actually exists.
