Many thanks for this site. Negative theology appears to be knowledge of God
obtained by way of negation. This seems a contradiction in terms. If God or
fairies or angels or Santa Claus don't exist for me, how can I gain knowledge
of these non-entities? For purposes of negative theology, since I'm an
atheist, wouldn't I have negated the concept already? Am I not practicing
negative theology already?

Try "apophasis". Here are a couple links:

Actually you get better sites by googling "apophasis negative theology"
because just "apophasis" gives stuff that's too general.
