Atheism isn't a prerequisite to science. In fact, someone can embrace atheism as a religious experience without any regard to what is happening on an academic or professional level within the various fields of scientific study.
Over the years I've known people who were atheists and they were just that way because they felt that was the way to be and they didn't feel any necessity to believe in anything beyond what was perceivable in their existence.
This doesn't mean you can't embrace science in a number of fields as an atheist, but it isn't any less true any other major ideology, religion, or worldview.
