Had we been born jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Shinto and so on and not
believe in the existence of the beings described in the stories of our
heritage, none would really care.  Nearly every religion long ago
reached peace at having plenty of non-believers among their members.

As such atheism is a practice restricted to regions where Christianity
and/or islam are practiced.  Elsewhere there isn't any need.

So it was invented at some point after those religions decided on an
unique innovation that belief in the existence of the beings or the
stories of their heritage is a requirement.  No requirement, no need for
atheism.  Yes requirement, need for a description of those who violate
that requirement.

The subject line "Atheism is baced on beliefs, not science" is a true
statement but not for the reason the OP almost certainty meant.

Atheism is based on a specific disbelief that is insisted on by a couple
of religions but not required by most other religions.  Atheism is based
on a requirement of belief by a couple of religions but not a
requirement by most other religions.

Does atheism use science?  Yes.  But that's not what atheism is based
upon.  Atheism is based on resistence to a specific requirement by a
specific pair of religions.  A specific pair of religions that chose to
oppose science, unlike nearly all others.  Ssience naturally became a
tool of atheists for that reason.

How do you get from "a purpose" to "a god" as if the words have
identical meaning?

If niunian can invent his own religion, why can't he invent his own 
definitions?

If you can understand what I'm saying, you should know that no one can 
be an atheist. Everybody has his/her personal god to worship regardless 
being aware of the concept and meaning of the word "god" or not. 
Perhaps, it's time to make a new definition for Atheism.

Hey, when one invents one's very own version of Christianity, one

OTOH, inventing one's own version of Christianity has a very long 
tradition -- it started practically before Jesus' notional body was even 
cold.

And generally speaking, individual believers are not normally 
troublesome.  They do their own thing.  I only start to worry when they 
begin to gather followers, when group-think and group dynamics take over.

When you devote your life to that purpose, you make it your god, if not 
permanently, at least temporarily. It depends on how grand the purpose 
sitting in the center of your life is and how devoted you can be.

Nothing I said has anything to do with being mental. It's just simple 
logic and common sense to show how close, how intimate, and how 
practical God is to everybody. God has been with you everyday, and you 
have been serving God with your pure unaltered devotion all your life, 
yet you haven't the slightest clue because you have brainwashed yourself 
to be an atheist. How terrible!

(1) In your first sentence you make an absolutist statement, and
then in the very next one you introduce situational "it depends on"
qualifiers.

(2) You appear to be asserting that everyone has a purpose that they
devote their life to.  Unless you count "continuing to exist" as a
purpose, I don't believe that that is true.  And even then, many
people "devote" their lives to it only by default.

The fear of death can also be a purpose. It would be bowing down to the 
god of death which by definition, is the devil.

Any more god head you can think of in your atheist life?

By definition, God rules the world of living, the devil rules the world 
of death. Those who live in fear of death involuntarily put themselves 
under the rule of the devil only to be threatened and terrorized. In 
reality, there is only God, and there is no devil. So people who live in 
fear of death are only terrorizing themselves.

  Reread Genesis. It explains that humans die because your god was afraid that Adam and Eve would eat of the tree of life and live for ever. That's also the reason they were supposedly kicked out of Eden.
