This sounds like the typical theist's semantic trick of trying to posit non-belief as a belief.

If you could kindly prove why your "non-belief" is not just another form of belief, have at it.

Since you can't do that and probably won't try, then I'm certain you will take that sentence back as silly, yes?

Asexual means lack of sexuality, not a different sexuality. Atypical means not typical, not a different kind of typical. Arrhythmic means no rhythm, not a different kind of rhythm.

You're confusing the prefix a- with the prefix anti-. Athiest means a lack of belief in gods. There is nothing else that goes with it. It's not a belief system. Some atheists are objectivists, some are communists. Some don't have any particular political philosophy. Some don't even think about these matters. I know a couple guys like that. Know what they think about? Hunting, fishing, canoeing, and football! You ask them if there's a God, they kind of shrug like "Whatever. Shut up. Patriots are playing." The only thing atheist means is "no belief in gods."
