Religion is about faith and belief, atheists believe there is no god.

By definition it's a LACK of a belief system, not one in itself, and while some atheists do believe there is no god etc, that isn't what defines atheism.
1. the doctrine or belief that there is no God.
2. disbelief in the existence of a supreme being or beings.

False. Atheists lack the belief in God, but they don't necessarily believe that there is no God. Both of those sources are incorrect, hell even a basic understanding of the English language will tell you this. The 'a' in atheism means without, so when you put them together atheism = without theism, which is exactly what it is.
