Your word games aside, atheists do not believe anything. They only accept as true what they see or can be demonstrated.

Interesting use of generalization with a universal qualifier.

One has to be a wee bit naive to "accept as true" everything that one can see: The truth is often hidden behind very convincing illusions and stories, most of which are not really false. These stories often represent other, more limited, truths, pieces of the reality underneath.
