Is atheism a belief?

[brewer]

I don't think it's the atheists that are calling it/them churches

Yes atheists are calling them churches.

Explain your "American" references when referring to atheists

Scandinavian atheists and American atheists. I explained this already.

A theist holds a belief that a god exists. An atheist does not hold this belief

Thanks I'll stick with that.

Knowledge is usually defined as justified true belief. 
Are you seriously claiming all your beliefs are knowledge based by this definition?

No. I use the dictionary definition.

You seem to be having trouble with the idea that a person can reasonably check both boxes: 
no, I hold no belief in any god; and no, I don't know if any gods actually exist

I didn't say that. I reject the claim that some people make which is agnosticism automatically equals atheism 

Something tells me that you're not as agnostic as you claim.

A false accusation helps who... Not the atheist thats for sure

Where's the beef?

There's no beef yet i'm just trying to understand the definitions first before i get into the beef.

Somebody's being quite anal

Ok so no one should get anal if I call this an ideology or a belief or something in my future threads. I'll move on

Got some kind of a bug up your butt?

Wow. Getting hostile over a simple question about definition. Good introduction to my next thread i think.

You're falsely quoting, I didn't make some of the statements that you attribute to me.

Provide evidence, independently of the video, where the people attending the gatherings are calling them churches. 

Explain why you seem to have an issue with "American" atheists, and not all atheists. What sets the "Americans" apart? That you have not explained. 

Anal is requiring a definition that you accept and not accepting definitions that we accept for ourselves. 

I make observations based on your statements, not false accusations.
