I said it many times, an atheist is simply a person that rejects the claims made by theists, that is: "there are god(s)". I don't accept their claim, therefore I am an atheist. Nothing else can be inferred, and I know personally 2 atheists, that care nothing about science, yet, they are atheists.
Sure, science is our best method to obtain knowledge, we cannot know objectively what we can't somehow detect/observate, but science does not seek to prove/disprove god(s), Its simply looking at our surroundings and try to understand how it works.
