Atheism isn't even an "ism".
I changed myself when I cared whether or not my core beliefs were true, justified and supported by evidence. I kept those that were supported and abandoned those that were not supported, or refuted, by empirical evidence.
I only found out much later that I was considered an "atheist" by society because I did not believe in any god or gods.
I see, but could you perhaps explain what you mean by atheism not being an 'ism'?
