Exactly, these bits of information while factual, make no difference whatsoever to an atheist viewpoint, and nor should they.
Yet, time and time again we see them being trotted out by Christians as an argument against atheism, and even some atheist argue them as if they matter to an atheist viewpoint (just see above). The reality is, they don't.

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
