Given that atheists are actually united by a lack of belief in the existence of a God or gods, your definition is awesome until the words, "The belief".

No. It isn't a belief. It is a lack of belief.

I don't 'believe' that there isn't a god... I just don't believe that there is one. A subtle but crucial distinction.

Do you believe that Zeus, Santa Claus, and fairies don't exist, or do you not believe in them?

A distinction that is rarely understood by theists.

I don't believe in them.

Their nonexistance does not require my belief. The same goes for sasquatch, UFO's, telepathy, mediums, astrology, ghosts, demons, yetis, birthing engrams, Lord Xenu, vampires, zombies, werewolfs, goblins, elves, past lives, and compassionate republicans.
