There is no scientific case for Atheism, and there is no scientific case for any 1 religion, any definitive statement in that realm is a belief.
Many religious beliefs on their own can be disproved. If you believe that literal interpretation of the Torah is the definition of Judaism, then all you have to do is show scientifically that the world is older than the Torah claims. But religious people will begin to say that their holy texts are not to be taken literally, in which case, if a religion makes no real claims about anything that can be tested or proven, it's no different than subscribing to any life philosophy.
So it's not really a dichotomy between Atheism and believing in "God", because that implies a judeo-christian belief system. Belief in any sort of god, gods, dieties, FSMs, magic jelly beans, or lack of belief in all of it, are all equally valid.
