I am an atheist and I do not believe in evolution. I think there are some things in this world that are unknown. The origin of life is one of them, in my opinion.
The fact that I'm an atheist doesn't mean that I believe in anything. It simply means I do not believe in theism. I'm not looking to replace one myth with another. Evolution is an interesting idea, but I don't see it as probable.

The Theory of Evolution is not something one believes in. That is why it is called a theory.
It is not perfect, but it is the best description of how life began and evolved, based on all the current evidence. As more evidence is discovered and methods change and improve, so will the theory.
This is fundamental to the scientific process.

Well my mother doesn't believe in evolution and she's probably even more of an atheist then I am.

Evolution theory is a religious belief that fundamentally requires adherence to the religion of atheism and/or the religion of pantheism.
Therefore, all atheists hold to evolution as part of their religious belief.
“Evolution” is a hypothetical, unobserved process (without any known scientific mechanism) by which all things in the universe are said to have created themselves from nothing without needing the existence of a Creator. Evolution is a hypothetical process of onwards-and-upwards self-improvement where all things somehow create themselves and somehow increase their complexity of their own accord.

I do trust in evolution as a theory and a fact due to research and first hand experience with the evidence (e.g., fossil record).

it's not whether or not they believe in it, it's whether or not they accept it.
and yes, there are some who don't accept it. i know 2 people who think the theory of evolution isn't complete enough. they accept the general idea, just not the theory we have no because it's not complete.

Atheist are usually people convinced by the evidence. That said, I am sure that there are some who are not convinced. " believe " has nothing to do with it, though.

Anyone who does not have a horse in the ring can have no basis in which to not believe, why not ask the same question about electromagnetism?

Atheists don't agree on much. But I have never met one that disagreed with the big idea of common decent. I am sure they exist, but they have to be incredibly rare.

They wouldn't be Atheists if they didn't believe in Evolution.
