I am thinking that....to the majority of atheists, what ever the individual BELIEVES rules that individuals life and "becomes real" to said individual? 
Hence....atheists do NOT 'believe' a god or gods (or 'higher power') exists ergo ...on the basis of lack of evidence "there is no such thing as 'God/s or higher power' other than mankind's own imagination".
Hence...theists DO 'believe' that there is the above stated bullshit and to them this is their 'reality'
Personally .....I have convinced myself that 'House Dragons' are "real" and live in my house. Currently I have three (I like the number) and prior to my current abode I had a Black and Silver Dragon on my back fence (to protect me and my children from unsavoury persons who might climb said fence) and a Gold and Red Dragon @ my front door (to protect me and my children from unsavoury persons who may try to enter our house from that direction)
Suffice to say...whilst I KNEW this was a whole load of bull crap I STILL convinced myself of the presence of Dragons and can initiate the SAME delusion no matter where I am no matter what mental stress I am under....the feelings and 'visions' I believe are no different to the theist visions and delusions to "keep one safe" and are "just as real" as anything I could come up with
my point being ...is to demonstrate that the human mind is a wonderful tool and sans any evidence to the contrary will be susceptible to ANY suggestion... AND MAKE IT REAL
aka religion is a delusion on a massive scale along with hell and heaven and anything else one would want to come up with
From the minds of desert dwelling goat herders with inferiority complexes the "abrahamic religions" make perfect sense (for the intellectually inept and the terminally insecure) and should be banned
