No, he didn't say that specifically at all. He clearly inferred from your statement.
Atheists, like everyone else, believe in all sorts of things, for all sorts of reasons. Gods are not among those things. That is the minimum and maximum criterion for being an atheist. It's not at all that we are so desperate to believe anything that we automatically latch onto whatever the rest of the herd is believing, right or wrong. That would be theists. Atheism is merely a specialised subsection of scepticism, addressing solely the issue of god claims. Literally everything else is up for grabs.
And please learn to quote properly.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
