Atheism is a lack of belief, not a belief.
Saying that atheism is a belief would be like saying that bald is a hair color.
Also, I think that the title is loaded to convey that atheism is like another religion, which has to be taught.
The idea of "teaching atheism" is silly. Just teach to reason and think for themselves, and form their own opinion based on facts rather than blindly accepting what someone told them to belief, let everyone think freely and provide the mental tools to do so instead of indoctrinating children.
Education is the worse enemy of religion. Religion preys on the ignorant.
