People can be ANYTHING and still be an atheist.  I've met Christian atheists.  They don't buy the bull, they just like the social gains, and some of the new testement teachings(turn the other cheek and such).  
Christian Atheist? Not tons of them, but they exist!
Jewish atheist?  YES!
Buddhist atheist? OF COURSE! (Buddha indeed didn't teach to believe in gods, so there are MANY of these folks)
Taoist atheist?  NATURALLY!

You cannot fit everyone into your neat little boxes.

Wrong.  

Take these saying.............A beard doesn't make a philosopher.........or..........the dress does not make the priest.......
People are free to say what they like to be but in order to be what they say they are they must prove it.

Buddha like Christ like and other person that follow spirituality obviously believe in God.
I already explained why Buddha did not mention God.
See my previous posts.

In other words anyone who say.....I am Christian or Buddhist and I am atheist tell crap.
Total crap because if they really follow Buddha or Christ they can not possibly be atheists.  

People get to define themselves, you don't get to do it for them.

Christians and Buddhists can both be atheists, regardless of what the mainstream religion teaches about god(s).  If someone goes to church and follows the teachings of Christ, but does not believe in god, who am I, and who are you , to tell him he's not a Christian if that is what he wants to call himself?

And there are, in FACT, hundreds of thousands of Jewish atheists, because many identify Judaism as a culture much more than a religion.  There are, in FACT Many Buddhists who also self identify as atheists. And so forth.

Also spirituality =/= god.  Ask a native American who follows their old beliefs, or anyone who follows a form of animism. 

I know you'll think I'm wrong, but the things I'm posting (that many people self identify as atheists but are still part of a religion) are facts, not opinions.  
Your opinions don't trump these facts.
YOU don't get to decide these people are wrong.
