I am always annoyed when people describe "Atheism" as a belief when it's anything but. A belief is asserting something is real/exists when there is no evidence to support it. Being an atheist is merely a lack of belief (in god(s)) and nothing more. There is no core philosophy, dogma, or principles shared by people who are atheists. Atheism is a redundant term in the first place and as well misleading.

The fact that it is an "-ism" is a misnomer. It holds no philosophy. Atheism isn't a thing. Atheists exist. Athe-ism does not.

Thoughts?
