.. from the WIKI ...
Many self-described atheists are skeptical of all supernatural beings and cite a lack of empirical evidence for the existence of deities. Others argue for atheism on philosophical, social or historical grounds. Although many self-described atheists tend toward secular philosophies such as humanism and naturalism, there is no one ideology or set of behaviors to which all atheists adhere.
The term atheism originated as a pejorative epithet applied to any person or belief in conflict with established religion. With the spread of freethought, scientific skepticism, and criticism of religion, the term began to gather a more specific meaning and was sometimes used as a self-description by atheists.

But we do use those 'five senses' in imaginative ways ie:
We can't See, Smell, Hear, Touch or Taste anything below the molecular level but we believe in Atoms. We can't see the Cosmos without radio telescopes. So Imagination, Logic, and Creativity are also the tools of the Athiests as well as Theists.
