Why isn't it correct to say that "Atheism is a belief like the absence of light is a colour (ie black)?
But some people argue that atheism is still a belief system because it requires faith in the absence of god.
Actually, atheism doesn't require faith in the absence of god. It simply means not subscribing to any belief in god or gods. It's similar to not believing in unicorns or fairies - there's no evidence for them, so you don't need faith to not believe in them.
