It's just a word use in substitution of the word god.

I don't know what all atheists believe. It's not like a religion where you have specific dogma you all believe in. I think the universe is the result of natural forces. But I don't know for sure and I'm willing to not know everything.

There is no scientific evidence for a designer of any kind. Sometimes natural forces create very complex things.

Instead of making up a god, or designer, why don't you just be in awe of a natural universe that created a creature that can understand it. I think that is inspiring. I don't think a magical creature creating things is inspiring.
