You could also say that your life is lived in the presence of the belief that there is no diety or preternatural force.
Atheism is not lack of belief. It is presence of a counter-belief. I'm personally agnostic, in the classic sense that I don't think it can be proven either way. But I believe (!) that atheism is no less a leap of faith than a system of belief. And it tends to be a sign of a lack of imagination
