Nevertheless, you could have looked up Wikipedia and resolved the issue without ever bothering to quote the thread in this forum. Clearly you are still confused about the issue despite many threads on the topic and the existence of Wikipedia which clearly demonstrates the quote to be false.

"There are those who believe that atheism is best defined as a lack of belief in gods. Well, babies and rocks don't believe in gods.
By using dictionaries and encyclopedias, it turns out that atheism requires belief.
I'm pretty sure than must be correct, unless you have scientific evidence that gods cannot exist? :/"
