Atheism is a belief... but of non believing


atheists do not believe god(s) exist. Nor do they all believe god(s) doesn't exist. So believe god(s) doesn't exist, but they don't represent all atheists. In it's broadest sense, atheism covers all people who do not believe in a God, regardless of whether they believe a god doesn't exist.

Basically what I said, Atheists don't believe in god or gods. 

But they also don't necessarily believe in the inexistence of a god.

so atheism is not a belief

That is not atheism then, it's called Agnosticism.

Atheism is the rejection of the existence of deities. So yes it is a belief because it is a statement of belief.
