Yes,i understand atheism is not making any claims but is simply rejecting the claim proposed by theists.
In the scenario presented by you there is no longer theism which would mean that theists are no longer making a claim.
So you're just sitting there rejecting a claim that isn't even made.
That makes you the one making the claim.
What a weird idea. Why do you assume people would be so invested in carrying around that rejection in the absence of religion and its practitioners?
You also seem to think this "rejection" is something momentous. It isn't except in those instances where people had to give up a lot in order get away from a religion they no longer had any use for. This shouldn't be any more surprising than it is for warfare. When people return to normal civilian life with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder it isn't because of a failure of logic. For children raised in oppressively strict religious households, losing your religion can be like that.
