You've just recreated the no true Scotsman fallacy, which is begging the question. (Really begging the question, not raising the question, which is what most people mean when they use the phrase in error.
Atheists come in a lot of varieties. We're not a cult with associated dogma.

If atheists come in a lot of varieties it includes "cults" with dogma.
Real atheism is the lack of belief in gods. You start corrupting the term when you invoke belief that their are no gods since you can not prove a negative. At this point we have not been able to prove 100% the origin of the universe.
You were also incorrect about the existence of jesus and buddha. Buddha was a real hindu who started his own teachings on hinduism. He is revered but not a god.
The other forms of "atheism" are generally not true atheism.
