You don't have enough means, there is "faith", but it is not enough.
Therefore, there is "faith".
That is exactly what I said. Feel free to refer back to the definition of the word lack which I posted for your convenience.

So does it means. . .
= Without a belief in any gods
= Lack of belief in any gods
= No belief in any gods
or it means something else ?

Okay, so according to you
Lack of belief = No belief

Lack can mean without or not enough.
When used to define atheism it means without.
