Yes. Atheists say atheism is a lack of belief.
All you have to do is say "do you believe you're an atheist?" and they will just stand their speechless.
If they believe they're an atheist, then they do not lack belief.

I do not believe that gods exist. That is all there is to being an atheist. I don't know what you're wittering on about, but it has nothing to do with atheism.

That's a statement, not a question.
Atheism is simply the lack of belief in a god. It doesn't mean we believe in nothing.

Twisting words around makes you look the fool. A "lack of belief in a deity" is NOT a "belief in nothing". Therefore only a stupid flocking idiot would try to connect the dots that you are... how does that feel? Does your brain hurt from trying to be clever with word play and FAILING?

It is possible to have no unsupported certainty.
And unsupported certainty is belief,
in the religious sense of the word.
But if you equivocate belief, in that sense
with belief in the sense of simply having opinions,
then one would have to have very little brain activity
to have no belief in any sense.
So, how about you define what you mean by
"to believe".
Atheism is the lack of
one specific unsupported certainty.
That is the unsupported certainty
that defines theists.

Your error is that Atheism is not a belief but a perspective.
Sucks to be so ignorant about that which one chooses to ask about.

I don't believe in "nothing" I just don't believe in your imaginary invisible friends.
