Yes to your first sentence. No to your second sentence.
Belief is the key word. The defining principal of atheism is non-belief. Atheists just don't believe in any higher power, and that's where atheism stops. You can believe that this is all just a dream, you can believe that we sporadically appeared from nothingness, you can believe that you are God Almighty, but just so long as you don't believe in a higher power, you are an atheist.
