If desperate enough people will try anything, I suppose.
Still though you can't test the strength of atheism its a world view that no gods exist.
Atheism by itself is not a worldview at all. It only tells you what a person does NOT believe - not what he/she DOES believe. It is a component in some complete worldviews such as Secular Humanism.
Most atheists do not actively assert that no god exists. They lack belief in any god because no god claim has provided credible evidence of such.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
