Is atheism a belief system, a new 'faith' as it were, in the same way that atheists claim that theism is a belief system?

Atheism is to religion what a non-plumber is to a plumber. There should not actually be a word needed to describe a non something. Non belief is the default after all. No one is born a certain religion. Just as no one is born a plumber.
Atheism has no gods, no magic, no belief in the supernatural.
Is it a belief yes. But so is the belief that the floor exists. But is it a theistic faith? No.
Theists try to bring atheistism down to their level so they can strawman it and then use whataboutism. But even if they succeed in doing that that still doesn't get rid of the arguments against theism.
