Does one need a specific explanation for the claim that one doesn't believe religious claims? That's all atheism is, by the way; a lack of acceptance of religious dogma, nothing more.
As concerns materialism, I shan't be speaking for everyone, but I doubt you'll find a strict materialist anywhere around here; most of us are smart enough to realize that we don't know everything yet, and thus won't directly discount the possibility that something more/as yet unknown about the material world exists. However, the time to properly believe that such a thing is out there is the time one has evidence that it does.
We aren't unjustified in believing in the material world because... well, it's here. We're... we're in it.
