Atheism is not an Ideology nor Belief.

I don't prefer the term 'Atheism' but rather I am 'not-a-theist'. As a convenience I'll go along with 'atheism' herewith.
Atheism is not an ideology per se.
Different 'Atheists' will adopt various claims of way-of-life, e.g. communism, Nazism, fascism, veganism, Stalinism, etc.
Note etymologically, 'Atheist' is made up of (A)+(theist).
The ([COLOR=red]A[/COLOR]) meant 'absence of' 'negative' 'nothing' or 'not-a'
Etymologically we can have [COLOR=red]A[/COLOR]communist i.e. ([COLOR=red]A[/COLOR])+(communist) which mean the person is not-a-communist.
Thus we have [COLOR=red]a[/COLOR]commmunist, [COLOR=red]a[/COLOR]nazist, [COLOR=red]a[/COLOR]fascist, [COLOR=red]a[/COLOR]vegan, [COLOR=red]a[/COLOR]racist, [COLOR=red]a[/COLOR]realist, etc.
[COLOR=red]'A[/COLOR]theism' '[COLOR=red]a[/COLOR]theist' happened to be popular terms but in essence they are no different from the above terms with the prefix '[COLOR=red]a[/COLOR]'
Suggest you sign up for an [B]Etymology 101[/B] class before you made the above low grade assertion that imply 'atheism' is an ideology that is equivalent to Islam, Nazism, communism, etc.
