Meanwhile I don't understand why atheists don't get that "I don't believe in anything" is still considered a belief system. The lack of belief is still... A belief. "I believe there is nothing there" is a thing. You're not special or a snowflake.

No... There's a difference between not having a belief and ACTIVELY not believing. If I've never even heard of your god, I don't ACTIVELY not believe, I just don't have a belief because I don't even have the concept.

It's like a child not even knowing about Santa, then are told about Santa, then says that it's stupid and that they don't believe in Santa. They now have something they actively don't believe in.

You're objectively wrong from an academic standpoint. Anthropology and religious studies teaches that atheism is not a belief system. If not believing in something were a belief system, then everything we've ever heard of in our lives and said or passingly known "that's not real" about would be its own belief system. Most people have heard of unicorns and most people know they don't exist. But we don't call not believing in unicorns a belief system. Knowing the characters in my favorite book aren't real isn't a belief system.

Not to mention the fact that most of the atheists I know don't actually DISbelieve in the existence of gods so much as they don't believe in it because there's no proof. Like, I'm an atheist, but that's mainly because no one has ever been able to show me any sort of convincing evidence that a god/gods exist. If you came to me tomorrow with concrete proof that there really is a god, I'd be happy to change my mind. It's the same with ghosts and the supernatural. I don't believe in them, but if someone presented proof that they're real, then I would start believing.

Atheism isn't a belief system. It is one belief (maybe). Granted, everyone HAS a belief system, because belief systems are what we act on. But there's nothing entailed by atheism. There's no action that it spurs. It can be PART of a belief system, but it's not a sufficient condition in and of itself.
