In denying the supernatural, you have an opinion, or theology about it, by definition.

Firstly, opinion != theology.

That been made crystal-clear, let us look at 'theology'.

Theo'logy: From 14th century, via French and Latin; Greek theologia, "study of divine things".

Where exactly does Atheism fit in here, other than the fact that Atheism is about the denial of those "divine things" in the first place?

I’m in a theology course.

Any viewpoint you have on the divine, on creation, on origins, on purpose of life, of the existance and definition of right and wrong,

is a theology.

Now, let’s take your assertion.
“Study of divine things” - if you’re an atheist, and you’ve rejected the divine, did you do so without some sort of study? That’s not very “intellectual” of you.
