Is atheism a belief?

[Amarok]

None of this supports your argument nor refutes mine

Cool. Glad you are okay with that atheism website.  Anyway, here is #7 from the same page.

7. Difference in Religiosity
A religious atheist practices religion but does not believe in gods.
A non-religious atheist does not practice religion.
Of course, there are many more “kinds” of atheism than this, for one may be a Republican atheist or a Democratic atheist, a short atheist or a tall atheist, a Caucasian atheist or an Hispanic atheist, a foundationalist atheist or a coherentist atheist, an enchanted atheist or a disenchanted atheist.

I said it doesn't support your argument nor refute mine 

A religious atheist practices religion but does not believe in gods.

No such thing their are no religious atheists atheism has no practices people can copy cat religion but it has nothing to do with atheism 

A non-religious atheist does not practice religion.

No such thing as atheism is by default non religious

This is a notice that I am quitting the work that I was doing day-to-day and using my time as CEO (I’m not going anywhere!) to do the thing that is needed more than ever – devoting as much of my energies as possible to spreading the word of what Sunday Assembly does.

Which has nothing to do with atheism 

The only way to understand Sunday Assembly is to experience it for yourself. There will be singalong songs, moving stories, passionate speakers—all finished with tea and cake (or coffee and doughnuts!). Just by being with us you should be energised, vitalised, restored, repaired, refreshed, and recharged. No matter what the subject of the Assembly, it will solace worries, provoke kindness and inject a touch of transcendence into the everyday. But life can be tough… It is. Sometimes bad things happen to good people, we have moments of weakness, or life just isn’t fair. We want the Sunday Assembly to be a place of compassion, where, no matter what your situation, you are welcomed, accepted, and loved. You can join a choir, sing in the band, attend and facilitate self-help groups, welcome those who are socially isolated, host potluck dinners, share hobbies, and much more. Most of all, have fun, be nice and join in.

Which as nothing to do with Atheism

A-theism is one thing. A LACK of something. 
A lack of one thing. 
Just like a-symmetry. No symmetry. 
Just like a-symptomatic. No symptoms.
A-theism. No belief in the gods. 

It's really not that difficult. 

(Your values really aren't "Christian". "Do unto others ..... " and "Love your neighbor as yourself" did not originate with Christianity.)

Not into atheism 

If your argument is that a god has to be involved in order to classify an ideology as a religion, then why do atheist religions exist?

No such thing 

I said earlier in this thread that the definition of 'god' is 'and object of worship', which could be anything. The Sunday Assembly purpose (as stated by THEM) is to celebrate life, 'celebrate' is synonymous with 'praise' so yes, atheists have created their own little religion, and are unwittingly brought themselves back to worshiping a god.

Your definition of god is useless
