Well, the uniting principle of an atheist is that they reject the idea of God. Well, more like they reject God of the Biblical ilk; a being or conscious creator.
They (generally) tend to rely on science for their outlook on existence and generally reject things which are not prooved.
Many atheists i've spoken to say that the burden of proof lies with those making non scientific or unreasonable claims. This can sort of come across as how you describe it: "egomanically"

"It's because atheists aren't stupid. We don't believe in something because we're told to"
But Atheists (generally) ARE told what to believe. They cling to contemporary science like a srecurity blanket; always safe in the knowledge that what they belive are facts. The problem is that science always evolves to proove itself wrong. So an atheists potential for creative thinking is bound by its limits of imagination.
I'm not a theist, but I deny nothing; instead I remain open to all possibilties and thus my mind is ready to learn nd contemplate ideas beyong that which science deems acceptable.

Not just the Athist but many theists go by contemporary science too (we all do). We may not know everything, but you know what? We love that we don't know everything. This is what gives us our creativity. Theorys of how things work in the univers, is nothing but creativity. We just rule out theorys with what we know to be scientific fact so far. Yes things will change, but until then, we have to go by what we know. An Atheist is NOT told what to belive. Just don't belive in paranormal/gods and you automaticly get the tag. Anything you belive after that is entirely up to you. The day a scientist prooves something wrong, no matter what, it's a good day. Because, "now" we know.
"They (generally) tend to rely on science for their outlook on existence and generally reject things which are not prooved."
In some ways you are right. But to say no one hase prooved it dosn't meen it can't be prooved. This is when I usely ask the person: "Why don't you proove it?"
Not to be taken the wrong way, but to be take seriously as a sugetion that you and/or anyone else could proove something right or wrong. How to proove? Scientific method. We all go by it, because it's the best we have so far.
My opinion was not that of every Atheist, just me.
Is it normal for atheists to always act so conceited?
