The position that there are no deities is just as much a belief system as the position that there are. Either sides has no data.
Lets create a situation.
Human 1: Raised in a religious environment with beliefs being passed onto them and impressed upon them to the point they take them to be TRUTHS. To maintain these beliefs there is effort required.
Human 2: Raised in an environment completely devoid of any religious beliefs. How in the world is this individual's lack of knowledge a "belief". They could literally go through life without ever considering a God, and that lack of consideration is in no way a Belief.
Simply paying no attention to religion is in no way, shape, or form, a belief.
