That is easy. I disbelieve that for which there is no evidence.
For example:
. I disbelieve that ancient aliens are responsible for Earth's ancient megalithic structures even though there are many books claiming that they were.
. I disbelieve that the universe was created six thousand years ago even though there is a book that has been interpreted as claiming it was.
. etc., etc.
Though I could be convinced with actual evidence.
ETA:
I could ask why you choose to believe in the particular god and Biblical stories that you do while disbelieving in the thousands of others that are available for you to believe in.
