atheism is not a belief

"I think it is incorrect to say that atheism is not a belief." Abel Yashua Abel this is a misunderstanding of terms because you are coming from a biased position.  It is laborious and impractical to label everything you don't believe as a belief.

Do you believe the moon is made of green cheese?  Is that a belief?

Do you believe the moon is made of Swiss cheese?  Is that a belief?

Do you believe the moon is made of both green cheese and Swiss cheese?  Is that a belief?

Do you believe the moon has a core of green cheese and a crust of Swiss cheese?  Is that a belief?

Do you believe that Pluto is made out of butternut?  Is that a belief?

There are literally an infinite number of things you don't believe and atheists share your disbelief in almost all of them (they vastly outnumber the things you do believe) and also we disbelieve in one more - the thing about gods.
