When I am asked what atheism is... I use a dictionary. When that does not suffice, I think back to when I was young. I never quite held a strong conviction that, "There are no gods." At least not then. Back then I was simply skeptical of all the things I was being told and realized I did not believe what was being said to me. I lacked belief in what I was being taught. I was an atheist.
Atheism, in and of itself, is a lack of belief. Not a belief and certainly not a system of beliefs. Not sure why this is even a discussion.

“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
