Yes - atheism is the absence of beliefs in god, of course "atheism" itself does not have an answer. You don't ask what the nutritional value of not being a cannibal is, either. What atheism means is that you reject certain simple answers to these questions because there are no good enough reasons to accept them.
P.s.
The questions you raise here are partly not well defined (where did the universe come from, can you tell me what thewe words even mean)? Others are deeply human questions. As an atheist I believe they do not have nor require an absolute answer and need to be figured out by us ourselves as individuals or a society. Accepting theologicap answers gives you an illusion of certainty which is ultimately dangerously deceptive.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
