If you believe in god, you are a theist; if not, you are an atheist. You don't "believe" in atheism anymore than believing in your blue eyes changes your eye colour.
As atheism itself makes no positive claim (since atheism also covers non-theism), it cannot be held as a belief or any kind of religion. It is a disbelief in the positive claims of theism.
Word for word, my brother. Couldn't have put it better myself...though I wish I read this thread earlier to reply as such hahaha
