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.
Perhaps I wasn't precise enough, but yes, I was talking about beliefs and claims in regards to God or gods. I'm was not saying that they do not believe in nothing at all.
I find that many make statements that betray a position of a mere lack of belief, and they try to slither out of it.
