Isn't there any atheist out there who doesn't believe in God but not because of some traumatic experience or because they follow science?

I cannot account for every atheist's reason for not believing, and I'm not going to try to. It's completely irrelevant to the movie. I think you're getting hung up on stereotypes. I don't think this movie is stereotyping at all. It's about Darwin, first and foremost. If you think that Darwin is a "stereotypical" atheist, that's your opinion, but as I've said repeatedly, it's not a movie about atheists, it's a movie about Darwin.
