Because that is what an atheist IS!!!! One who does not believe in god. There is no claim. Lack of belief. The burden of proof is not on us. It's on the theist, they claim there is a god, it's down to them to prove it.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
