Atheism is a belief system.
You believe that god either 100% does not exist or is of "low probability." As such you still have to use a certain amount of faith since you can't prove the god(s) do not 100% exist. So atheism requires belief in its tenants of no theistic gods or the slim possibility of them.
I suppose if you are an atheist who 100% denies any possibility of any god(s) then could could call yourself lacking any belief. Any amount of low probabilities of existence bring admission you don't know for sure so your required to use a slight amount of belief.

Yup, don't you all be teaching those kiddies how to think for themselves. Jesus and America need citizens who obey without question, not a bunch of independent skeptics.

Well for one so much grief could be avoided if people listened and followed authority. For one there would be no need for that authority to use subvert methods to seek control, since the population already respects and follows the control.
But thats for another thread.
