Yes they are,and no, 'we' don't actually.
An atheist is simply a person who does not believe in gods. Atheism has no position on any other matter,including dualism.
'As a skeptic",I do not believe in god (s), angels,demons, the soul,afterlife,the supernatural generally,the paranormal, alien visitations, dragons,mountain trolls,or fairies living at the bottom of my garden. (to name a few) due to a a lack of credible evidence.
Atheism+ seem to be a bunch of arrogant ignoramuses with whom I simply cannot be bothered.
What you are doing is antithetical to atheism.
People are free to define their atheism in any terms they wish.
I don't think you are in any privileged position to tell anyone that your definition of atheism is any more valid than any other definition of atheism.
