Strictly speaking, all it does is refute those people who say there is no physical cause to an event other than a direct intervention by God. Such a view of nature has never been taught by Christianity, and the number of believers who take it to be true is not sufficient to indict all Christians. And moreover, refuting it doesn't refute all of Christianity.
So there seems to be a gap in your reasoning here. The scientific method doesn't make one an atheist.
In fact, one would not be surprised at the lack of direct scientific evidence of God because science is limited to a subset of the operations of the physical world. You won't find evidence of the existence of Henry Ford by studying the engine of a Ford Focus either.
Wouldn't it be idiotic for someone to declare, having studied a Ford, to declare that Henry Ford never existed? That's how atheists reason routinely.
You are right the scientific method did not make me an atheist because I have never for a second believed in a god the whole thing just strikes me, and has always struck me as being very stupid myths that society should have outgrown centuries ago.
The science just shows that I'm right.
