It's more that Theists attack Atheists for believing absolutely in nothing, instead of not believing anything unproven.
And there's the disconnect. If it can be proven it can't be believed.
If you don't believe in something unproven, then you don't believe in anything at all.
And that's fine, by the way.
You're taking statements beyond their logical extremes, ad absurdum. You can believe facts that have moumtains of evidence, and not believe stories with no evidence, and be perfectly rational and believe in things.
Belief is accepting something without evidence. If you have evidence, belief isn't necessary, because you know it.
Saying you won't accept anything without evidence is saying you don't hold any beliefs at all. But nobody is really like that. Atheists believe all kinds of things.
The part that trips people up is when something is unknown but knowable. That is where someone can have belief without having faith.
Faith is for stuff that is not and never can be empirically known.
