Atheism is not a belief system. It is simply the state of holding no belief in god(s). If that single lack of a belief in deities constitutes a 'system' in your book... then atheism is not the only word you are redefining.
Can that simple lack of a single belief open the door to ideologies and philosophies that a theist would probably shun? Of course it does. And the atheism that opened that door is still not a belief system in and of itself.
Words: They mean stuff.
