I don't think Buddhism is atheist, though I suppose traditionally the understanding of what a God is might be different than what others are thinking of, and lies closer to a polytheistic version of gods, as Buddhism doesn't exclude gods nor is it mandatory to include them and if you were to take gods into account they would be finite (my interpretation of it is that in Buddhism that gods, if real, are merely highly evolved beings that are still stuck in the cycle of Samsara).
