• Believed that physical reality was all that there was, and stories of “creation”, deities, spirits, angels, demons, souls, etc., were merely fantasies
Your post was not so lucid that I know for sure what you intended. But, if you intended to say that the above points are included in the atheist version of Nicene Creed, then you're just wrong. Atheists don't have to agree with any of those points. Many Jews and Buddhists, for instance, are both religious and atheist.
The only thing you need to do to be an atheist is fail to believe that gods exist.
