No, it doesn't contradict my definition at all. I'm not sure how you think it does.

A lack of belief in God(s) is a system of belief in the way the world operates, just one that denies the metaphysical.

Believing that believing in Joseph Engels style dialectual materialism, as in applying it to natural sciences, mean you have no system of beliefs is absurd on its own face.

People on China are being raised following the party line as mentioned above. That's a philosophy they have been taught to belive. All philosophy is is a system of a beliefs.

    Atheism is the belief in the lack of gods or God

    That's the only definition that has ever mattered

    Posting the definition you choose, or should I say believe, for the word is obnoxious and meaningless, puting it in bold is just sad. Especially the way that one is written.

    You think your definition is enough to change what someone believes a word to mean? I believe you are mistaken

    You took that personally I guess but I'm the weirdo?

    Atheism is any sense is a belief system, the above poster fell deeply into a particular variety of it

    I don't know if your comment about AI was sarcasm but I assure you it's not going to help
