In that case, most buddhists are atheists. Because Buddha didn't believe there is God but he believed there is afterlife (nirvana is afterlife for buddhists). Sure, a lot of buddhists believe in God but it wasn't part of original buddhism. I think there are other religions too where people believe in afterlife but not in God. Just having full belief that there is no God is IMO not enough to say you atheist because there is always a possibility you still believe in afterlife.
