Atheists are different animal.
Nope, both atheists and theists are homosapiens, which is why there are Christians who are ex-Christians who became an atheist and vice versa, while being the same species in the animal kingdom.

They are called A-theist for a reason. That they reject the concept of Theos. So they approach everything with this mindset.
Nope, atheists do not reject the concept, we merely do not believe in it. It would be like saying we reject the concept of the invisible pink unicorn when it's clear that we merely do not believe in it in the first place to even have the capacity to reject or accept the concept at all.

Next they will try to use 'science' to justify their reasoning not knowing that their 'science' is also a belief system as science is based on numerous ASSumptions in itself. Therefore one needs to 'believe' the ASSumptions to get to the perceived conclusions.
Nope. Not all atheists use science as reasoning. Simple examples include Buddhist atheists who uses the spiritual teachings of Buddhism as a guide i life as opposed to the belief of an existence of a god or gods.
The second nope here is that science is not a belief system based on assumptions It is a method of investigating reality by testing hypotheses in order to ensure that the withstand the veracity of claims so that whenever they're being tested, it is shown to be true. Science is also not dogmatic like a "belief system" as new evidence can overturn any previous scientific understanding, and then move on with the new understanding thanks to the new evidence.
As a matter of fact, we are doing science everyday without the need to be in a lab. Whenever you test something in order to verify its authenticity and to verify it predictability as well, you are proving that the scientific method works, which is what we do whenever we try to test something in our everyday lives.

So Yeah, short of God appearing to them personally, you will have a hard time to reason with them unless they are serious in seeking like the 'free thinkers'.
That depends on whether if atheists believe in a god or not, but if they do, then they wouldn't be called an atheist anymore, wouldn't it?
