yes I am, and I'm sure you've met plenty of atheists, you just might be living in the sort of place where someone being open about being an atheist could bring some terrible consequences, so they wouldn't be open to discuss it with you or anyone around.
what made me become an atheist? the lack of evidence for any sort of gods or supernatural existence. I would say it's the default position. everyone is born an atheist until they are talked into believing in something they have never seen.
why don't i believe in god? same answer, lack of evidence for any sort of gods existence.
hope it helped

Oh no it's not trouble with them coming out I live In a City they call Jerusalem of Europe so i know people of all Religions and trust me i litterally know everyone Even Budhist yes we have them too so it's not that hard to find Atheists.
I never met a true atheist i see a lot of Atheists say no Evidence of god and ok that is your thing but where is the evidence of big bang i think they call it.
And isn't atheism religion of some sorts too.

big bang? the best visual evidence for the big bang was provided by the cosmic microwave background radiation and it's red shift, meaning that not only the universe is still expanding, but actually keeps expanding at an increased rate instead of slowing down like some older physics models proposed.
if you are genuinely curious about astronomy you have literally an entire universe to discover. even a mild usage of wikipedia should cover some of the basics without you needing a degree in physics. although this has still nothing to do with the lack of evidence for any sort of god.
i find funny the idea regarding the god of the gaps in which humans tend to insert god into anything that is currently unknown. that's why Zeus used to be the god responsible for lightning. when earthquakes happened it would mean the gods would be angry, so let's sacrifice some virgins. when people would get sick, it must have been spirits or demons entering their body, miracles would happen all the time before cameras and video was invented... nowadays when we have an explanation for pretty much everything that used to me attributed to gods, the current gods are limited to hiding away in some alternate reality or beyond this universe.
so actually if you think about it, the position that until any of those gods are proven true you should simply be skeptic and thus an atheist, is the default one.
i'm guessing you're an atheist regarding most of the gods that people thought existed with the exception of the specific one you believe right now. i'm just going 1 god further than you :)
the lack of religion is not a religion
