Not believing may be a belief, but does it matter?

If you look at the definition of the term Atheist it is the "belief" that there is no god. By defining yourself as an atheist you ert a "belief" there is no god. So yes you have a belief but does it matter that you don't believe there is a god? the answer is no it doesn't matter one bit and shouldn't matter to anyone else either. Your belief is as credible as any other. What I find is that when the word god is used it is always christians that ume it is their god that is being referenced and I would imagine that those who are causing you to ask this question are those same christians. A belief in anything is a personal choice and an individuals choice should be respected and not attacked. It is hypocritical of those mouthing a belief in god to deny you your choice after all that very god granted those believers the right of freedom of choice. Also the questioner is not promoting his belief nor is he trying to convince anyone his view it the only one he merely asked the question "does it matter" and those of you who ume he views his opinion as a religion are hysterical and reactive without really reading what this questioner is asking. Dial down the religious proselytizing people his question is does it matter if what he believes is a belief.
