I think part of it may come down to ignorance and the misconception that atheism is the “opposite” of theism instead of a lack of belief in it and indifference to it

  • I don't believe "there is a god".
  • I believe there is no god.

Both are atheism. First is weak/negative, last is strong/positive. The first merely rejects the theist's claim, while the last makes a claim on their own.
