Yes Buddha did not say yes to God, but he strongly believed in Karma.
according to him, it is the Karma which is responsible for our life death and reincarnation.
For God he just kept quiet and said it as only a big VOID

I don't believe you can be an atheist at all. The definition of an atheist is one who denies the existence of God. That's just plain silly, if one truly believes there isn't anything there to deny in the first place why do we need a whole affiliation just to say we are not affiliated.
The old Shakespearean quote comes to mind; Methinks the lady doth protest too much. Which means if you have to verbally deny the existence of something you are only fooling yourself that it does not exist. If you thought it didn't exist you would never acknowledge it by denying it. So in my opinion all proclaimed atheists are uncertain and trying to convince themselves by "protesting too loudly"

the truly element an atheist is is someone who has no idea in any deity. except that, atheists are, like theists, those with their own perspectives in each and every accessible element, consisting of "karma". So some do and some do no longer have self belief in some version of "karma" or yet another. ~Atheist. Ex-Christian. Former new ager.

Sure you can. Karma is based on the main law of the universe, which is energy follows thought. If you have dark thoughts, dark events will follow, based on the creative visualization powers of our own individual minds. What goes around DOES come back around physically. We'll find more ways to 'prove' that as we learn more about the quantum level of matter.

sure.
atheism simply means you do not believe in any supreme diety. The idea of karma does not need a diety to work, so it is possible. There are even some forms of Bhuddism that are technically atheistic.

I suppose as long as you don't associate karma with a doctrine, you can consider karma much like the universe is a crapshoot.

I don't know where everyone is getting their definition of an atheist, it means you do not believe in the existence of Gods. I believe in plenty else.

there are no true athiests, they believe in some kind of devine power

What goes around comes around. You get what you give. You can give it a religious title if you please, but it's all the same thing
