Nailed it, Aurora. It's a function of our limitations. We atheists either have a strong tendency towards scientific thinking that allows us to overcome those and/or we have our own emotional biases against supernatural thinking.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
