Try reading this and then perhaps you'll answer that question for yourself, instead of asking us such silly things.

I need to objectively gauge the ordinariness.

But okay, from the article:

"It is indeed normal for an atheist to believe in the existence of things like love, values, beauty, and so forth. Perhaps there are few who don't, but they are in a small enough minority that it's justifiable to ignore them here."

Now, would you say it would be an ordinary or extraordinary claim to believe in the existence of love?

You're starting off on a flawed base here, Naimless. Love is extremely subjective, defined and confined by the one who experiences it. It's the experience of an emotion, not an entity or agent or law. Some people may experience something they call love, others may not experience something they would call love.
