It's true that many atheists may have most of the same presuppositions, but not all. An atheist is not necessarily an intelligent person. I've met many stupid atheists, and I have also met many stupid theists.

Since you love labels so much, here you go:

[implicit/explicit] [weak/strong] [agnostic/gnostic] atheism

implicit atheism: an atheist who doesn't have the god concept.
explicit atheism: an atheist who rejects the god concept.

weak atheism: an atheist who doesn't believe there is a god, nor the contradiction.
strong atheism: an atheist who believes there is not a god.

agnostic atheism: an atheist who claims to not know if there is a god.
gnostic atheism: an atheist who claims to know there is not a god.

I think I would be an "explicit weak agnostic atheist."

There are also different categories of agnosticism.
