a position which requires faith in unknowable assertions. Here it's wrapped up in quasi-scientific framing to lure idiots into thinking that atheism, as a null hypothesis, can never be confirmed, as null hypotheses are only rejected or not rejected. This ironically actually supports the majority implicit atheist view - the 6 position on your referred scale.
I for one - of many - do not claim it is impossible for all gods to exist. I do assert it is incredibly unlikely, that there is not a single shred of evidence that they do, and that we should given these arguments live our lives as if they don't unril shown otherwise. I certainly can and do assert specific logically incoherent god claims are false - just like I can assert there are no married bachelors in the modern sense of the latter word. There are certainly no all-knowing all-powerful all-loving gods for one. But limited gods? Spiteful gods? Disinterested gods? I have no way to reject these - so I don't. Similarly I have no reason to accept them - so I don't. Lacking belief in these gods, I am without theism and therefore atheist - an implicit atheist.
