This may seem pedantic but it's important.
It's not true that all atheists think that there is a scientific explanation for why we got here. Some may think that science may one day explain how things happened - personally, I'm not one of them - but why? is not necessarily something science can explain, nor is it a necessity for not believing in a god.
I think it fair to say that most atheists would say that their primary objection to the god hypothesis is not God but religion. Because we know that religion is a man made invention, it's conventional to throw the God idea out with the religious bathwater.
But atheists, being primarily rationalists, would mostly also tell you that they can't rule out a deistic non-interventionist kind of god. So to that extent most atheists are in fact agnostics. But that's mainly playing with words - all it means is that we don't know yet, so we can't rule stuff out.
What I find interesting from a European perspective is that religion here has pretty much adopted science into our religions whilst in the US there is this black and white distinction it seems like you're still having the arguments that we had in the 19th century, but with now no hope of success as the science that you're rebelling against has been settled for over 100 years.
