Doesn't it appropriately fit on Atheism?

If I ever assert something without evidence, feel free to dismiss it, regardless of whether I am an atheist or not.

Can you clarify why you are meaning here, @paarsurrey
Gnostic atheists, yes. Agnostic atheists, no.

So, one doesn't have an assertion that Atheism is correct. Right, please?

It's correct for me. I'm not asserting it's correct for anyone else.

But one agrees that it is "an assertion that Atheism is correct" and one won't be against it if other Atheism people have the same stance.

I not against other people having whatever stance they feel they need to with regards to God.
I suspect their maybe some atheists who have a stance against other people believing in God but such a stance is not a requirement to be an atheist.
No. Atheism is a claim about one's own stance. It is not dismissable because it does not say anything about the world outside.

No. It fits the theist claims that God exists.

People are correct when they say they lack a belief in deities. I tend to think that people are accurately describing what they don't believe.

How can someone be incorrect when they describe what they don't believe? Do you think they are lying about what they believe and don't believe?
No -- atheism asserts nothing. There is no assertion to dismiss.
"Correct" implies an assertion. Atheism makes no assertions. What does atheism say that could be either correct or incorrect?
"An assertion that atheism is correct" presupposes that atheism asserts some fact or opinion that could be either correct or incorrect. It does not.
Why is this concept so difficult to comprehend?
