Um they are the same thing. . . if one does not believe x exists, what, then, do they believe? They believe that x does not exist.
Furthermore. . . if they were not equivalent, then the following would be reasonable. . .
"I do not believe x exists, yet I believe x exists."
You must admit that is foolish, no???
Back to your original contention. . ."I have no belief in God" is different from "I believe there is no God".
Consider the statements "I have no belief in God, yet I believe there is a God" and "I have belief in God, but I believe there is no God" . . . again both are foolish statements.
