Yes, atheism is not a belief, it's a realisation. One day you realise that you don't believe, that you are simply not convinced. You don't decide to be an atheist, you don't belief in atheism, you simply can't make yourself belief something that you are not convinced of. It's not in your control, you haven't been provided with sufficient (or any) evidence and realise that the label of atheist accurately describes your state of mind.

You just described the subjective experience of joining every religion

The difference is that realising you lack belief because of absence of evidence is the product of sound reasoning.

Realising that you do believe in something because of an absence of evidence is not.

Oh, you mean like how I don't believe in an objective reality beyond my senses because of absence of evidence. And how believing in reality because you don't personally agree with the evidence against it is unsound.

Hard solipsism is self defeating. If you stand by your argument, you're arguing with someone in whose existence you don't belief. If you don't stand by it, you're agreeing that solipsism is useless and worse, pragmatism demands it be ignored. Go troll someone else.

Is a meme format. It was supposed to be funny?

Best cure for religion is actually reading the damn books. It’s utter bullshit and anyone with a functioning brain can tell.
