Tell me what the athiest does believe then
Atheism only represents the disbelief in gods. Atheists believe in many things, but there is no dogma for them to follow. That means there's no commonality in what atheists do believe. We only share a single disbelief.

What we are lead to do is to accept this "idea" as truth until a better truth comes along.
Science doesn't produce "truth", only the best conclusions we can reach looking at the available evidence. New evidence may cause them to update the explanation.

"Truth" is the province of religion and philosophy, not science.
