You're basically making the same errors as the apologist Ray Comfort when it comes to defining atheism. For an atheist there is no god, since there is no evidence pointing to the existence of any higher being. It's just the absence of any kind of belief, not an impoverished belief.
And I find your explanations of Catholicism to be rather odd. It's certainly not what I have been tought when I was still going to church. It also seems to be at odds with what the pope and the bishops say. So I would ask you, where do you get your interpretation from?
