Does atheism guarantee disbelief in anything unproven?

RE: Does atheism guarantee disbelief in anything unproven?
I'm skeptical about most things, Bigfoot, ghosts, alien abduction, the chupacabra, and mother Goose. The only real exception that comes to mind is alien life in the universe, which I think should be a matter of mathematical probability even if it hasn't been scientifically verified.
"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me

"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon
