I think that on the subject of occam's razor, there is only a difference of interpretation between some theists and some atheists. God is a much simpler explanation for everything than particle physics if you presume that god needs no explanation.
The reason I say "some" is that I think it is a mistake to assume that there is anything about the words "atheist" or "theist" which imply anything meaningful about the motivations and justifications one has for being an atheist or a theist.
Not all atheists are atheists out of a commitment to rationality. Not all theists are theists because of a commitment to irrationality.
