And if atheism as a belief ignores the universe

Atheism is not a "belief". It is simply the abscence of a property. Theism implies a "belief" of some kind (though the exact nature of the belief varies amongst theists), atheism is simply the abscence of that particular type of belief.

Atheism is a belief/religion as bald is a hair colour and barefoot is a type of shoe.

Yes, atheism is a belief. It is the belief that there is no God. My post points out that the existence, orderliness and beauty of the universe argue emphatically that there is a God and that atheism is thus nonsense.

Atheism is not a "belief"

Funny, I hear atheists state "There is no God" all the time, which is very obviously a belief.
