As far as your other points I can describe why atheism is categorized as a religion by United States Supreme Court and a few other things on what you mentioned. For now let’s just stick to these simple two questions in the OP.
Atheism is categorized by the Supreme Court, only as far as atheists deserving the same rights, with regards to freedom of, and freedom from, religion.
It is not categorized as a religion, theologically or philosophically speaking.
I am not sure what is vague about my answers? I disbelieve that gods, souls and an after life exist, because I have yet to be offered demonstrable and falsifiable evidence, and valid and sound logic, to support theist's claims that those things exist.
What’s vague about your answers is that you’re saying there’s lack of evidence to make up your mind on souls and the afterlife but you also place a belief in the brain.
You see, atheists love to be exact on definitions when it suits you and you also love to being vague when it suits you.

When you think you have the correct answer that you're expecting others to reveal, your search for knowledge is inactive because you erroneously think that you know all you need to know.
Be open to the possibility that you may be wrong, and this could all go much smoother.
Oh no no no absolutely not, I’m going by your definitions here and I don’t know anything until you tell me.

Okay so you’re out. Lol
You make a nonsensical analogy and then throw your hands up.
It’s not nonsensical at all. You tried to make the case that non-belief is the equivalent of a belief system, with the insidious implication that atheists aren’t really atheists at all.
Boru
These are exact questions I’m asking regarding afterlife and souls not the famous spaghetti monster.
You just told me with absolute certainty that they absolutely don’t exist without any proof. This is a belief system .

It's a belief(s) that I lack, at least in the way that christians believe.
