That depends upon what sort of atheism one is talking about.
As I use the term, it means that my belief in God is very similar to my belief in Unicorns: sure, I don't think there are any, but if someone showed me one, I would change my mind.
This, I think, is how most atheists believe. We describe ourselves as atheists instead of agnostics, not because agnostic is denotationally incorrect, but because it has connotations of priors closer to 50-50 than five nines.
except i believe in unicorns as i disbelieve in god. I believe that there must have existed unicorns at some point, but I know my belief is based on nothing. :)
