If atheism were not a belief, atheists would literally not understand the words god, deity, etc. when people use them because they would have no mental concept mapping to those words. Much if I asked "Do you believe in skreeblebargle?"- without a concept matching the word it is meaningless.
Whether atheism is a belief system is another question.
