You can stop there if you are just trying to define atheism. Atheists can also believe that there is no god if they want to take it further.
Would this be more accurate?:
Lack of a belief in any god- Atheism
Belief that there is no god- Anti-theism
or
Lack of a belief in any god- Weak/negative atheism
Belief that there is no god- Strong/positive atheism
I'm actually both. I'm a weak atheist because I lack belief in gods. I'm also anti-theistic because I vehemently detest religion.

That describes religion, yes.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.
