Not necessarily—again as I already said previously. For example, an atheist can be fundy about American-made muscle cars, which qualifies as something "other than believing in God" but does not qualify as an "atheistic view." At no time have I argued that atheists are fundy about just any old thing "other than believing in God." This circling about to already addressed points is rather curious and becoming tedious. I implore you, please, when drafting your response to consider whether or not you are raising something we already went over.

The distinction I drew is—again—that they are fundy about their atheistic views, not atheism in and of itself. It certainly is not obvious to me (nor did I accept) that one's atheistic views can somehow be unrelated to atheism. Atheistic views are by definition related to atheism. However, "related to" does not mean "the same as" (i.e., metaphysical naturalism is an "atheistic view" but is not "atheism").

I feel sorry for you Arcanus, and the way you feel the need to attribute characteristics inherent in mankind as a species, or characteristics of life it's self, to your imaginary friend God.

Everything works without him, we don't need such a primitive concept of origins to explain anything.
Atheism is a rejection of the concept of God - due to (in most cases i am sure) the fact that not only is there no evidence that he exists or had anything to do with the cosmos being the way it is, but also due to the fact that there is increasingly very little that we don't know and therefore increasingly less need for such a concept.
