I do think most people have a one sided view so why could I not use that argument? Surely disbelief is a view, and belief is a view. My view is that religions are unbelievable.
I'm not a person who believes atheism is a belief that god doesn't exist or a religion but I definitely think it is a view that religions are not believable, a rejection of belief in religions, whatever you want to call it.
To me this seems like one of those instances where a phrase has been thrown around as being bad, even though it is common.
Just like people who say they are open minded and don't judge people by their past. It doesn't actually have any true meaning and is just used by people when trying to sound cool and modern. It's actually very useful to judge people based on their past and a common thing to have a one sided view, and only bad if this view is detrimental to other people or just purely illogical.
Your train of thought seems to be that having a one sided view is bad just because it is, so therefore atheism can't possibly be a one sided view otherwise that would be bad and that can't possibly be.

Yeh I am being one sided with disbelief about unicorn fairy astronauts because I don't want to waste my time researching something which is very very likely to not exist or effect me.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
