Belief in god without religion seems pointless, but it's possible. I guess deists are that.
Atheist means belief in god, so you can't be an atheist of just religion.

I'm not particularly happy with the "road" metaphor. I started out on a road with a lot of Christians who call themselves fundamentalists 9though they're not as crazy as American fundamentalists). I'm still on the road with the same people and they still call themselves fundamentalists but they see God and heaven at the end of the road and I don't.
Theist, is the one who believes in God ,
Religion is an organization of a group X Y Z of people who share same views.
I wonder the atheist church when they get to getter what do they do ? Do they have an objective ?
I am surprised you saying that .Check on the internet , they are poping up like rag weed.
A believer have something to offer , but the atheist have nothing to offer.
There are some. I happen to think it's a relic from those that deconvert but miss what churches offer. But they might share fellowship or smoke a bowl and talk about the universe, who knows. I'm anti-social so I would never join one.
??? What does a believer offer that an atheist can't?
Well aside from internet sites I've never seen an atheist church, nor ever met anyone who's ever seen one or attended one. It's basically a creation of theists to compensate for their feelings of insecurity. After all, if a church is not a necessary part of ones life, what the have they been doing?
Still, I can see advantages to having a church. The internet sites for atheist churches all offer ordination by mail, so you could have the legal authority to marry people, (even gay couples). If you establish the church in your house, there would probably be tax benefits as well. And there's no pesky god idea to get in the way. This might be worth looking into. 
Assurance in himself because his strength comes from God. Struggle to improve himself morally and charitably because he wants to serve his God .
Insufferable smugness, the rancid smell of sanctimony, and the self assurance that his invented deity approves of his actions, no matter what they may be.
Billions of human are happy with it . Would you say majority is wrong and minority is right
Lots of people are happy with heroin.
Have you seen figure on the large increase on death of heroine the last decade .
Humans are usually happy when they're smug snd sanctimonious. If they think they have a reason to feel superior they're as happy as a pig in shit. Look at all the examples posting here.
