There is a difference between believing that God exists and that God does not exist like there's a difference between collecting stamps and not collecting stamps.
Like if you believe in God in Germany you have to give 10% of your paycheck to Church.
And atheists did not invent that difference nor naming people according to their beliefs.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
