St. Paul, in Romans 1:18ff, makes it clear that ALL men know there is a God; some worship Him, others don’t and hold down this truth (that there is a God) in unrighteousness. Thus, strictly speaking, there is no such thing as an “atheist” – meaning a person who really believes there is no God.
Yes; as many atheists have long understood, no one *really* believes in God, many people just think they believe that. :)
