Etymology of Atheism
“the doctrine that there is no God;” “disbelief in any regularity in the universe to which man must conform himself under penalties” [J.R. Seeley, “Natural Religion,” 1882], 1580s, from French athéisme (16c.), with -ism + Greek atheos “without a god, denying the gods,” from a- “without” (see a- (3)) + theos “a god” (from PIE root *dhes-, forming words for religious concepts). A slightly earlier form is represented by atheonism (1530s) which is perhaps from Italian atheo “atheist.” The ancient Greek noun was atheotes “ungodliness.” Etymology Online Dictionary
Atheists claim atheism is not a religion, they just don’t believe in God. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and President Joe Biden believe atheism is a religion; the two men want to protect and promote the religion of atheism. So, they don’t believe in a God whom they persecute and whose disciples they wish to silence.
Search as I may, there are no posted online reports on atheists disproving Santa Claus, Luke Skywalker, or the Tooth Fairy. Therefore atheists are persistent opponents of the Living God whom they cannot see and of the believers in God whom they do see. Atheism is a religion.
