Although the answer to your question is likely to tell you a lot more about the person than just knowing they're an atheist will.
So if I then ask "why do you not believe in god?" is your answer "because."?
If your answer is "I have no proof" then the question becomes what you mean by proof. To which it is likely you mean empirical proof. In which case welcome to empiricism.
or
You may answer that "I have not experience it myself." In which case your answer is relativistic. Welcome to relativism.
Hence, Atheism is not solely atheism. In praise of your person, I do not think you are such a simple being as to say you do not believe "because."
Atheism is solely atheism. Theism is solely theism. But atheists are not solely atheists; any more than theists are solely theists. Atheism and theism are simple. Atheists and theists are complicated. Because they're people.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
