Uh, you're ascribing a lot of nonsense there to what atheism actually is. Sorry to be pedantic. Atheism has nothing to do with evidence, or conclusions, or indeed looking. That has to do with the reasons someone may be an atheist. All atheism has to do with is whether or not someone believes in a god/gods. Their reasons can be wildly different, and certainly not every atheist is an atheist because they have done what you say.
