That's not actually how it works.  It starts by someone not being able to explain a natural phenomena and claiming god/ghosts/aliens/magic did it, then it gets explained and it turns out the god/ghosts/aliens/magic didn't do it.

It doesn't start out by an atheist just sat on his own thinking well I know how this lamp works so God definitely doesn't exist.

I think you missed the point of the OP

I am saying that you are right it did start out by attributing the unexplained to God. But, (here is what you don't seem to get) when we learned to explain how things work, we assume that God must remain in the realm of magic and mystery, and because we can explain how something like gravity works/it is no longer a mystery.. God can't be involved. When in fact the only thing one has disproved is the archaic idea of a magic only god.
