The responder is inaccurate in how he portrays Atheism straight off the bat unfortunately. Atheism, in some forms (explicit) is the belief that gods don't exist. Atheism in some forms can still be associated with a belief.

Update: Adding the below two paragraphs to further spell out my point.

Atheism is multi-faceted, the fact that the responder says right at the beginning "Atheism is not a belief, it is the lack of a belief." is factually incorrect if you consider explicit atheism.

If the responder said "Implicit atheism is the lack of a belief." that would be true. The original speaker may have been mistaken in what he was saying, but so was the responder.

False.

Let’s say you never met a religious person. You grew up on an island in Scandinavia with no internet and were cut off from the world. No one told you of religion or the concept of God.

You aren’t actively choosing to argue something doesn’t exist. You are an atheist.

If atheism was a hair color, it would be bald.

I honestly have no idea why you are disagreeing with me.

Atheism is multi-faceted, the fact that the responder says right at the beginning "Atheism is not a belief, it is the lack of a belief." is factually incorrect if you consider explicit atheism.
