Great! An attempt to describe Atheism by two Muslims and a New Agey sounding guy. <_<
I gots a suggestion. Go ask an atheist, nay, several atheists, what atheism is. Go to a few well known atheist websites, and check there. Look at Richard Dawkins's site. Sam Harris's site.
Notice I gave you _several_ sources to check out, not just one. Because, for one thing, aside from the standard "We don't believe in a god or gods" refrain, you'll get a better picture of where we atheists come from as far as what we 'believe', if you ask a lot more than just one. In other words, there is no 'holy book', no one doctrine, no one required practices or rituals, etc., that we all hold. This is a lot unlike many religions whereas they all (more or less) have one authority, one holy book, one doctrine/dogma, etc.

This is one of the results of independent, individual free-thinking. View it good or bad as you will, that's how it is. I, myself, view it to be a good thing, as it allows for getting past all the dogmatic rubbish and getting closer to the truth on our own, ... rather than believing 'the Truth©' because some 'higher authority' tells us to, and that's it.
Hope that clears up some of your misunderstanding.
