More properly, this is the symbol chosen by the American Atheist Association. It's an organization to which I have no real interest in being involved, despite being an atheist myself.
Unlike the cross, which is a universal symbol in one form or another for all Christians, this atom icon is not the universal symbol for atheists, just one group of atheists.

There's a symbol for atheism? That's news to me. Anyway I'm a Taoist. That's the yin-yang symbol.

i didnt know atheism had a symbol
though if this were true, i guess it can symbolize science for their position of using scientifcal explanations and reasons to refute God

it is a symbol for how we understand nature and how it works...scientifically...factually. The fact is that no supernatural explanation is nedded for the natural world.
