Of course they do. If they did have even a lingering belief, they would identify as something else: agnostic, deist, etc. There are many shades of belief between "no god" and "that guy who's watching and influencing every little thing every person on the planet is doing".
The basis for most atheists belief is simple: there is no objective proof of God/god(s), and no reason any longer to believe in one in order to go about one's daily business. There was a time, long before today's science, when there were countless things that could not be explained, and so "God did it" was reassuring.

No, I believe that societies create gods. None of them exist in reality, but that doesn't stop people from convincing themselves that they do. That's why even though there's just as much proof for the Christian god as there is for the Hindu god, Christians will by and large say that the Hindu god does not exist or can not get them into heaven. Other religions think the same about both, and some say that all paths lead to god. They can't all be right, but they can certainly all be wrong. As of right now, there's no reason to believe any of them are true.

I phrase it like this: I KNOW there is no god because in all of the 5000+ years that religion has been making the claim, not a single shred of evidence has been produced to verify that this is a god.
Many, many people have 'said' there is a god, and many, many books have been written 'saying' there is a god, however, other than writing it or saying it verbally, no one has ever produced any evidence. You can say something a million times - that doesn't make it any truer than the first time you said it. Get it? There is no evidence. There is no god.

no, they have a super-secret god called Mick Zigfield, who instructs all atheists to hide their faith. By pretending that they have no god, they can fool Christians into trying to think outside the box; the god Mick Zigfield wants thinking followers who can help defeat the enemy armies of Zorbaz, the evil dictator of a parallel universe.

My belief in Zeus has gotten me all I have, praise be to Zeus!
May Zeus invoke his wrath on all those who do not believe! (don't worry, he KNOWS if you believe or not)
