An atheist's task is to convince the human brain that it is nothing more than a biological machine, which operates with neurons and chemicals, rather than gears and levers.
Once that task is complete, we can abandon all belief in the soul, the spiritual world, and the afterlife.

You are mostly correct.
Though that is a job for physical monist - not an atheist.
There is no job as an atheist, since atheism doesn't really espouse anything beyond a disbelief in gods. It doesn't even have the job of disproving the existence of gods, and doesn't even espouse the disbelief in all supernatural things.
