Possibly because so many athiests go "There is no god" not "There may be a god/something divine, but until I have proof I don't think there is".
Most atheists state that they don't believe in a god.
I've rarely seen any athiest who routinely acknowledges that there's the potential that such exists but we don't have proof yet and thus that's why they don't think there is. Its almost always simply stated as an absolute, unquestionable fact, usually with uppity sarcastic condenscending tones and insults.
Probably because you're not paying attention and only looking for that which reinforces your preconcieved notions.
