Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name give glory because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth. (Psalm 115:1 NASB)
Atheists do not believe in God or anything supernatural. However, there are people who accomplished great things because of their religious beliefs. Since atheists do not believe in the supernatural, they attribute the success of these people to their great faith. They praise the faith of the person, rather than the object whom the person have faith in. After all, there is such thing as "Placebo Effect" in which faith plays an important part.
Christians should praise God, the object of their faith, rather than faith itself. Because our belief in God is not a "Placebo Effect". Our God is the effective cause.
