Why do atheists spend so much time dwelling on God or trying to disprove God if they truly do not believe in God's existence?

The popular theist belief that atheists as group wander around going "There is no god, and I think that because..." or "I will keep thinking up reasons why there is no god because I'm afraid there is!". Most atheists spend no more time thinking about god and how to disprove its existence than the average adult spends on trying to disprove, debunk or disparage the Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, or the monster under the bed.
This is not to say that some atheists, like may evangelists and theologians, make their living writing and speaking on the issue. These are the exception not the rule.

Do atheists pray?

What group of people believes that no god exists at all?
Atheists do not believe in a god/gods or higher power. Agnostics do believe in a god/gods but believe their/its existence or lack thereof can not be proven. This does not imply the lack of a religion as by this classification Buddhists are atheists.
What are some misconceptions about Atheism?
One misconception would be that Atheists are people of no faith. It takes just as much faith to deny the existence of a higher power as it does to acknowledge it. Not all atheists are "strong atheists" who deny the existence of god. Having said that, it does not take faith to deny the existence of unicorns, leprechauns, or the tooth fairy. The idea that you need faith to not believe in something is silly.
