No, atheism is nothing more than a lack of belief in any gods.

Atheism makes no claims. It is merely a statement about belief. Atheism is not "There are no gods." Atheism is "I do not believe in any gods."

Sounds like religion. Christanity,Judaism, Muslim, Taoism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Wicca, Sihkism, Cao Dai , etc; are all statements about belief.

I see you have difficulty equating belief with religion. OK. What do you think religion is if not belief.

You need to take some logic courses. Just because all religions are beliefs, not all beliefs are religions.

Religion is a set of beliefs regarding the nature of the universe, of a supernatural nature.

Atheism is a lack of belief.

Look up. You see that tiny little dot? That's the point passing way over your head.
