So basically a theist is someone that would respond "Because God." to explain something which cannot be explained and an atheist is someone that would respond "i don't know" to something which cannot be explained?
Ah... not necessarily.
Theist: a person who believes in a deity or deities.
Atheist: a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in a deity or deities.
Notice that neither has to do with knowledge; that's a/gnosticism's job.
