>I just don't think there is a god.

This would be agnostic (militant agnostic?), wouldn't it? I think a true atheist would say "I know that there is not a god."

Agnostics actually don't think the question of "is there a god?" is interesting or can have an answer

Not really.

There are "I know that there is not a god" atheists, those are the insufferable unholier-than-thou types like Richard Dawkins, who seem mostly interested in provoking religious people.

And there are "there is no falsifiable proof at all to support the existence of a god" atheists, which are the ordinary sensible ones, who don't hate religious people, they just don't share their beliefs.

Dawkins is actually a weak atheist (agnostic atheist), not a strong atheist. He thinks an interpersonal God is highly improbable, but it's not possible to prove a negative and so he doesn't assert that it doesn't exist.
