All of the lore is up for interpretation, however, the existence of the Nine Divines is fact, and having your player not believe in them wouldn't make sense lore-wise. You could claim that the Nine aren't Gods as they're mortal, but you have to acknowledge their existence. I don't really know if that makes your character an Atheist or not, but you can interpret it however you want.

Also, this thread reminded me of when the Thalmor Justiciars say "You're a heretic and deserve a heretic's death!" Or the Vigilants, "Walk always in the light, or we will drag you to it".
