Sure it is. If I say that I don't believe in dinosaurs...you're just going to call me a nut job and not ask me WHY?
When I say "I don't believe dinosaurs existed"...I'm making the claim "Dinosaurs didn't exist".... therefore my belief is "dinosaurs didn't exist".... It sounds extremely redundant but that's really what it is....
When one individual says "I don't believe in a creator"...and I ask them "Well, why is that?", they will have reasons to defend their conclusion. Just as is true for those that do believe in a creator.
We all have reasons for what we believe...or what we don't believe...
I don't believe in unicorns....my reason for that is because there are no fossils...
I don't believe in leprauchauns....my reason for that is because i think the irish are just a bunch of drunks who imagine things...
I don't believe the Kansas City Chiefs will ever win another superbowl...my reason for that is statistics....

None of you, absolutely none of you, have the right to tell this individual his own beliefs and opinions are incorrect. When you can absolutely, without a single shred of doubt, 100% PROVE that the existence of a creator is IMPOSSIBLE...then maybe...until then...accept the fact that people are going to have different opinions.
Most intellectually inclined atheists do not merely "lack" belief, such as a dog or a cat would lack belief...but often times, they will directly state "there is no god"...
