You are conflating atheists with atheism. Atheism is not something that is making a claim or stating a belief.
So you are saying it is bullshit when atheists try to use this excuse to get out of having to explain their claims?
And I'm not talking about atheism as a description.
If someone says "atheists don't have beliefs", yah, they mean the atheism part of an atheist, not the whole person. There is literally no one in the entire world who would say any adult person doesn't make claims or have beliefs. Everyone does. You are intentionally misunderstanding the meaning, are clearly talking about this one aspect. I would call it poorly worded, not bullshit. And I would call you disingenuous for going after semantics over the obvious implied meaning.
