Atheists aren't claiming to have positive proof of the nonexistence of God.

The term means that someone has not seen convincing evidence for God's existence.

Likewise, I wouldn't say I'm agnostic about Russel's Teapot or any mythical idea because that terms tends to imply that you find the existence and nonexistence of the thing to be comparably likely.
