I don't see belief in the God of Abraham and belief in No God as fundamentally different. However, after being dragged down by semantic one too many times, I've yield and now use the word 'dharma' instead of 'religion' to describe this.
I completely disagree.
There are plenty of us who aren't afraid to question our own premises.
I also think equivocating atheism with the Abrahamic religions belies your real point here. If you cannot see the fundamental differences inherent in the two worldviews, I don't know what to tell you, except to say that there's a hell of a lot of muddled conceptualizing you've got going on, by all appearances.
