Simply put, if you "believe" something, it will not change. Look at Christians.... they "believe" in god no matter what. For atheists, it is not a "belief" because if evidence was presented, most of us would change our minds and then "believe" god exists.

Atheism is a conclusion based on the current lack of evidence. For example, do I believe unicorns do not exist? No, it's not a belief that they do not exist. It's a logical conclusion based on there being no evidence for unicorns. If today, a unicorn fossil was found, I would then "believe" in unicorns.

A logical conclusion does not equal a belief.
