Can't disprove supernatural, can't disprove other realms, don't have any "belief" to support and "disbelief" requires no support.
Those questions further outline that you can't see the difference between "disbelief" and "believing to be false". One doesn't need confirmation to dismiss an idea, just disinterest.

You sure that's where you got the definition? I see you didn't provide a direct link... maybe that's because that's not the definition they have on their site:
a person who holds that the existence of the ultimate cause, as God, and the essential nature of things are unknown and unknowable, or that human knowledge is limited to experience.
a person who denies or doubts the possibility of ultimate knowledge in some area of study.
a person who holds neither of two opposing positions on a topic
Obviously, it's the first definition of "agnostic" that is applicable in this discussion. Agnostics are not just "disbelievers", agnostics are certain that, not only is there no evidence, but that, because of the nature of the supposed "supernatural", acquisition of evidence is impossible.
Whatever the first google result was then I don't keep track of this stuff. Either way, labels don't really matter to atheists or whatever you want to call us - you get over the "unknowable" pretty quickly and then move on to "don't care".

This is what you claimed their definition is:
hmmm... not quite the same, is it?... Seems you might be trying to get away from being a believer in there being no god.
If you are an atheist, then you believe there is no god. If you were unsure, then you would not be an atheist.
