Simple, Rikky. Just read the rest of the entries for the meaning of atheism, not just the one that agrees with you. There will always be several uses for every word with slightly to greatly varied meaning. The fact of the matter is that while there are gnostic atheists on this site, the great majority of us hold no positive beliefs regarding gods and therefore have nothing to justify. QED
And here how the Oxford online dictionary defines "atheism":
Disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods.

I'm not used to seeing just one meaning per word like this. The good old paper versions always listed many. I imagine the alternative meanings are there but I'm not sure how to access them online.
