I chose Christians simply because that's who Atheists seems to pit themselves against the most, that's all (and vice versa). I could have used another example; it's just what came to mind.

No. A lack of belief is a lack of belief. Darkness is not a color. It is a stance, yes, but it is not a theological belief. The very term itself means to lack belief. I don't know why you don't get this; you seem somewhat intelligent.
