Is atheism a belief?

[The Grand Nudger]

It's a claim that's only accurate with respect to some atheists being insisted as true for all atheists despite direct contradiction.

No doubt there are also atheists who hear and reject the claims of religious people for bad reasons. Maybe force of habit, or a prejudgment that any religious claim must be silly. Or there could be personal psychological reasons, like unhappy childhood memories of church. 

These would be reasons to reject religious claims, though not good reasons.

You're using "reason" colloquially again.  If I reject gods because it's a tuesday that would be an example of "rejecting religions because of reason", in this use.  

I was grateful that a little earlier you demonstrated your own case of the pattern I'm talking about. When I typed out the sound-bite version of claims by Cusanus and Boehme, you read these, considered them briefly, rejected them, and kindly told us the reasons for which you rejected them. So at least in your case what I say is true.

I told you how they could be categorically rejected out of hand, sure..obviously I wasn't doing that when I was five, and I was an atheist then, too.  What's the point of suggesting that people consider the underlying cause and reason for their state of belief if you're going to reject the product of that same consideration because it doesn't fit some lazy cause you've created by waffling back and forth between reason and reasons™?
