Atheism is a belief system. It is the belief that there is no deity.
The scientific approach is agnosticism. In the absence of evidence, or what one considers evidence, the scientific answer is “i don’t know”.
Personal experience and evidence are two different things.
And a lot of what we consider to be scientifically proven, are theories, which are subject to constant change. The best example probably being atomic models and how rapidly they developed in the early 20th century. However that Bohrs atom model of circular movement of electrons around the atoms core was succeeded by more detailed models and the circles being disproved, doesn’t mean Bohr was any less of a scientist or evidence based researcher.
Meanwhile except for very few physics experts we all just accept that orbitals are the best approximation we have right now, because we read it in some book.
Atheism is the lack of belief in a deity. It’s not a belief that one doesn’t exist.
There’s a distinction there. You can look that up. You will find you are mistaken.
P.s.i find your willingness to trivalise scientific research and discovery as “some book” intollerable.
In the context of my original point, the difference between a scientific theory and some political monstrosity not believing something because they have no personal experience of the subject is incredibly large.

Don’t try to legitimise that clown.
