Quote:What would you say, is this a kind of atheism?

The definition of atheism is simple and unequivocal. IE A disbelief in gods; it is about BELIEF.

But I can also beliefe in pink elephants driving cars without belief that they are gods. And that truely would not have anything to do with atheism but is all about belief. So atheism is also about something that you just call gods, and that was the point. Coming from a monotheistic or also polytheistic religion it might be clear what is meant by 'gods'. But then I have to understand atheism (coming from a family with naturalistic background) as kind of opposition to such religions. But there are so many other possible positions. This is not disposing it all. For an ex-christian or something likely, this would be really a great step for his personal freedom, but seen in entirety is it only this opposition to monotheistic/polytheistic religion? (this is not a rethoric or provocing question, I just want to understand things that are not clear to me).

I just want to understand things that are not clear to me.


Just step out of mind itself, then all will be clear. You seem confused - mind itself is synonymous with confusion so if you are in it, you will always be split, divided and unsure. There are as many questions as they're answers, stick to relevence. The question of wether or not there is a God is childish. People only cling to Gods out of fear and greed which is understandable if you are identified with the mind. There is no answer to such a question. And indeed such a question cannot even be asked. If it could then you would also be in a position to ask what is the meaning of life. But first you would need to create distance and since you are life itself this too would also be an impossibility. Unless of course you topped yourself but then you would be defeating the objective.
