There is no such "have to" requirement. Atheists can go on about their lives without such an accounting. No belief system is required.

So all yo ...[text shortened]... ll sorts of beliefs are possible, except, by definition, belief in deity.

No. Don't get it. For by definition, atheism is the belief there is no deity.

No it is by definition the lack of belief that there is one. the two are not the same thing.
