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. |
Jay explained this earlier. He said that those who reject the existence of deities are a subset of all atheists, and in that subset he agrees with you.
@OP. In a culture of rejection of faith, I believe religion would struggle to survive. However, those who would be religious would be that much better, because persecution generally leads to meakness. However sometimes it leads to paranoia so I'm not sure anymore.
