124 comments and full of contradictions, when presented with valid points, picking what you think is a next possible target, when again presented with valid points , moving goal posts .... And now finally, trying hard to say AThiesm is not a belief!
Now, so far,
With Russel and evidences it was clear, Atheism is a belief.
With your definition again, Atheism is belief. See comment 201 --

From Comment 205, using your own terminologies, You are a 'theist of Atheism'. You have a non belief in God of atheism. But as far as we (Muslims) are concerned, 'there is no god but allah' La Ilaaha Illallah.
Now, you try another attempt.
Yes. But, that little research is not enough. Lets get this correct. So you now make it all the more clear. ie From lack of 'belief in god' you say a rejection of 'belief in god'. ie 'Acceptance in belief there is no god' The case becomes more stronger for 'Athiesm is a belief' to say rejection of 'belief in god' is a stronger belief.
Good point. Lets Deep dive.
A Thiesm. a negation of theism. Theism comes from the Greek theos or ‘god’. Atheism from atheos. Theos is god. Atheos no god.
Theism, with all its different prefixes, means ‘belief in a god’, coming from the Greek theos or thea(depending on gender). Belief that god exists. So, atheism (depending on etymology you preferred) means “Without belief in a god or gods”. A strong position , without any evidence to prove - god does not exist. It simply is 'belief in no god'
Okay? Without 'belief in ...' .
The word to examine, belief. It comes from the Old English leafa, as a replacement for Old English galeafa, which itself came from West Germanic ga-laubon, meaning “to hold dear, esteem, trust”.Mental acceptance of a
claim as
truth regardless of supporting, unsupporting or contrary
empirical evidence.
Something
believed trusted.
The old atheists had a belief - universe always existed. They were sure thus to use this as evidence for no god.
The quality or state of
believing (trusting).
My belief that it will be proven universe was created was strong. The atheists trusted since there is no evidence of beginning, their position is correct
(uncountable) faith. Your belief that my belief in Allah wont change, may it become true for eternity.... Ameen.
(I could give many more examples)
