I assume that is some humour. Atheism isn't a belief system is the Non-belief" of something that is proposed.
Everyone is an Atheist about a lot of things.
I am Atheist about the Tooth-Fairy. If you like me do not believe in the tooth-fairy - then guess what - you are an Atheist.
Every person on this forum religious or not is an Atheist about all the religions they don't believe in. So if you are a hard line Christian - and you think Islam is "fake news" then you are an Atheist about ALL other religions but your own. So if there are 1000 religions and you only believe in one religion - then you are an Atheist about 999 religions - the only difference is that I go one religion further.
If a Christian woke up tomorrow in a parallel world where the USA was ISLAM under Sharia - they would be horrified. They hate the idea of their life being controlled by a different religion. They don't want people who believe in weird stuff to have an impact on their life.
But it's fine for them to have their belief (with zero evidence or fact) control the lives of others. Their belief tries to say control an Atheist woman's control of her own body is a fairly big one.
As I say - I will defend anyone's right to their religious beliefs - it is only when that belief impacts other people where it becomes an issue.
