To be an atheist requires absolutely nothing more than the rejection of God claims. Anything else is down to the individual atheist, so shouldn't be assumed. It may be the case that many atheists are sceptics, but it's not correct to equate the two.

For example, I may believe in ghosts, fairies, the bogey man, think science is utter rubbish and a conspiracy, think the Big Bang is wrong and the universe has existed infinitely long into the past in pretty much the state it is in now. And I may also not believe there is a god. So I'm an atheist.

Also, rejecting the God claim is not the same as claiming there is no God. For a further explanation, please check this out:
