Is atheism a belief?

[Amarok]

Huggy will be old and in a wheelchair with a nurse emptying his diapers and he'll still bring up Denmark to anyone and everyone he can.

Only when someone claims that atheists have all this logic and common sense, that shuts them up real quick (if they actually have common sense), otherwise some atheist (like Amarok) will double down and prove my point.

Lol to bad I never doubled down and you have never shut anyone up huggy except yourself

That is only partially correct.  It originated long before that.  You're talking about when it was adopted as a term to describe skeptics and what not.  The orthodox believers were the ones who established it etymologically.   But then again, that was also covered at the end of my statement.  In short, "atheist" was later broadened into "atheism"  See below:

The etymological root for the word atheism originated before the 5th century BCE from the ancient Greek ἄθεος (atheos), meaning "without god(s)". In antiquity it had multiple uses as a pejorative term applied to those thought to reject the gods worshiped by the larger society, those who were forsaken by the gods or those who had no commitment to belief in the gods.[/url][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freethought], skeptical inquiry, and subsequent increase in criticism of religion, application of the term narrowed in scope. The first individuals to identify themselves using the word atheist lived in the 18th century during the Age of Enlightenment. The French Revolution, noted for its "unprecedented atheism," witnessed the first major political movement in history to advocate for the supremacy of human . The French Revolution can be described as the first period where atheism became implemented politically.
