Atheism does not necessarily require the outright rejection of the existence of god, it simply requires a non-belief. While it seems like the same thing, it really isn't. I consider myself an atheist, because I don't believe in any god or gods. However, I am not prepared to simply dismiss every faith on the planet as being wrong. This does not mean that I am likely to become a religous person, nor does it mean that I am going to change my life style "just in case god is watching." I can acknowledge the possibility of a god without believing in one.
