Atheism can be legitimately viewed as a lack of belief

Not quite, that goes by the name of agnosticism. An atheist answers the question "Do gods exist?" by saying "No".

You've probably tested your belief in the lethality of long drops partially by falling out of trees as a child

The results of all these tests point out that falls are not lethal, of course :-P

As an atheist, I answer the question "Do gods exist?" by saying "With the evidence we have right now, it is most likely that they do not."
