There are gnostics in both cams, though I would say there's a higher percentage of theists who claim there is a god then there are atheists that claim there isn't.
Neither claim yet satisfies the burden of proof. One day we may find conclusive proof that there is a superior being (not the christer gawd though). We may also discover enough about the universe to confidently claim there are none. Before you go on about proving a negative, unless you remain agnostic about dragons, leprechauns, fairies, elves, big foot, the Loch Ness monster, unicorns, etc... then you cannot claim there will never be enough evidence to dismiss god claims as absurd.
