I think that athiests simply believe that the simplest answer is usually the correct one. Now that we can explain most of the 'mysterious' phenomena and 'miracles' that we see from day to day, there simply isn't a need to invoke god as an explanation. It makes more sense to decide that there is no god, rather than to try to explain the existence of a god that somehow hides his existence.
