You're being characteristically dishonest yet again.
The only requirement to be a Christian is to accept Jesus as your lord and savior, so I've been told repeatedly by many sources. Anybody who makes that claim and doesn't explicitly contradict themselves, is a Christian.
The added qualifier of "adhering to canon" is meaningless and arbitrary. You don't adhere to it yourself, and it is obviously very open to interpretation. Not to mention, humans decided what was canon and what was not, so I'm not particularly impressed by 'canon' anyway.
So, yes, to be an atheist, all you have to do is lack belief in a god. That is the description of atheism. There are no extra rules. And, there are atheists who are terrible human beings. I had a heated argument with one just the other day, when he suggested putting Muslims in concentration camps. He was a hateful asshole, but he's still an atheist.
