So, what was the first cause? God?
What caused God? God is eternal/timeless?
How do you know? How do you know the universe isn't timeless?
In order for your first cause argument to work, you need to make three assumptions:
1) God exists, despite being nonfalsifiable.
2) God has the ability to create universes.
3) God is timeless/eternal.
If I don't grant you those three assumptions, then you haven't proven God. Let me show you another way:
We'll assume there is a special particle called fleems. Fleems are undetectable, they can create universes, and they're eternal. Therefore, given that everything that exists has a cause and the universe exists, I have successfully proven fleems. Why don't you believe in fleems, Spidey?

You're over-defining the term. Atheism means you don't believe in any gods. All that other stuff you mentioned in the OP was a different topic. I'd consider myself an agnostic atheist. I don't believe in any gods due to a lack of evidence. It is, by very definition, not a faith-based stance.
