Atheism is simply a lack of belief in a god or gods, nothing more. It is not a positive belief or a claim to knowledge. Instead, it is the default position of doubt, uncertainty and skepticism one may have regarding any unbelievable or unprovable claims made by theists. Just as it takes no faith to lack belief in the boogy man or ghosts, it takes none to doubt the existence of a god or gods.
Every human-being ever born begins life as an implicit atheist and must be taught the concept of theism or, more commonly, indoctrinated with it.
Atheism has no sacred texts, objects, places or times, no rituals or creation stories, no positive beliefs, central tenants, modes of worship or supernatural claims, no implicit or derived moral codes, philosophies or world views and no central organization or church. It fulfills none of the criteria that define a religion.
A bullshit definition of atheism filled lies about what atheism is using a lot of unproven positive claims.
