It's strong atheism. But there is also weak atheism, which means the absence of belief in any deity. Not advancing the hypothesis of God, as there is no reason to.

The same question: do you think that Macaroni Monster and fairies can exist? You also can't disprove their existance.

But the reality around you is also unfalsifiable, you can get only the reflection of it with your sense bodies. You cannot prove that the reality is not just a Matrix, the product of your imagination. So you have to be even more believer than theists are.
