Well that's original.
People are splitting hairs very very fine, so we can maintain that sort of slogan.
However, all adult atheists believe exactly the same thing: that religious claims are false.
Cliches are often cliches because they're true. Who's splitting hairs? I don't believe in god. The belief isn't there. It doesn't really make sense to call atheism a "belief."
Even if atheism was an active belief, which it isn't, who cares? It would be a belief based on evidence, or lack thereof, which is a lot more than anyone can say for any theist.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
