Okay, to stop getting bogged down in referencing past portions of the argument, I'm just going to wipe the slate clean.
Is the following belief system atheistic? If not, why not?
{"Justin Bieber exists", "Hurting people is wrong", "Honda is a good car manufacturer"}
Note that I'm not asking if any of these beliefs are accurate, or true.
Here's my thinking:
Yes, the belief system is atheistic; it doesn't include (or imply) the belief "At least one god exists".
Rhythm, do you agree with my evaluation of the belief system? Or do you think that I've made a mistake?

“The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any Catholic, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false.”
