I think Brent is saying that he DISbelieves in the god he described above.
With the others he's probably in a state of non-belief, where he doesn't
actually believe X exists but is prepared to be convinced otherwise if
convincing evidence came along. That state is called atheism for the first
("theistic") case,, and agnosticism for all the others. (I am personally
agnostic on all gods.)
