Well then stop calling yourself an "atheist" and start using the correct description which is none other than DUMBO!
To qualify as an atheist you must first study theism, debunk it, and then resort to atheism.
You haven’t even studied the most basic things!
The opposite is true. You should not believe something until evidence is provided to convince you to believe it. Otherwise you would believe in everything, in every religion ever made, in magic, in astrology and every other superstition, and stop believing them only after you study each and every one of them in depth and become an expert in them.
Just like you don't need to become a certified astrologist to know that astrology is bullshit, just like you don't need to become an expert in ancient Greek Mythology to know that the Olympian Gods do not really exist, similarly you don't need to be an expert in every single religion that ever existed to know that their outlandish, unscientific claims are not true.
I've had religious classes for many years in school and I even had a good grade in them. No proof was ever provided that there is a "God". Neither anybody else, including you, has ever been able to provide such a proof.
The fact is that your religion is not any more "true" than any other religion ever invented. All religions without exception are manmade creations and no "Gods" were ever involved in their creation.
