Amen!

Having been raised in a religious family myself, I never had to spend time with those parts either for the same reasons. Perhaps this only happens to people who are brought up without a clear policy regarding beliefs?

Atheism is not belief, but absence of it. It is not (different kind of) religion, but the opposite of it. Atheists can have beliefs, of course. For example, one can be a Buddhist, but those are not part of atheism.
