I suppose you could not "believe" that they can do anything, but they still exist, but that's enough to give me a headache.
No, not at all. It isn't wishy-washy, it's logical and rational.

One shouldn't believe something exists without sufficient evidence. I have not seen sufficient evidence that any god exists, therefore I don't believe in any. If I should be presented with evidence, I will re-evaluate my position. The same can be said of aliens, ghosts, Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster and honest politicians. No reason to believe = no belief.

Lack of believe does not equate to belief in the lack of existence.
