swine of the times -

i mean no disrespect, but i think you may need to reconsider your understanding of atheism as i do not believe it is the view held by the consensus of scholars or dictionaries:

atheism:
–noun
1. the doctrine or belief that there is no God.
2. disbelief in the existence of a supreme being or beings.

quite simply put, atheism is a belief. again, you may need to reconsider your understanding of what a belief is:

belief
–noun
1. something believed; an opinion or conviction
2. confidence in the truth or existence of something not immediately susceptible to rigorous proof

having said this, your final statement is also incorrect as the founding principles are incorrect.
