By religion, Christian.
Not specifically you, by the way; I've always seen you assert that part of the definition and your constancy is well respected.
NO!A good number of Atheists believe there is no God. Really, I'd even say most. It is hard to not take any stance on an issue when you are well aware of it, especially something as personal as spirituality. It seems to me a number of folks just hide behind the given definition because claims of disbelief are extremely difficult - if not impossible - to even begin proving, so by claiming one simply lacks a belief, the burden of proof shifts. :/
Atheism is a lack of a belief, it is not a belief.
