Atheism denies nothing. Atheism is simply the absence of belief in a super natural being. To paraphrase Dawkins: As a christian (or jew, or muslim, etc) you are an atheist to any number other deities that exist today, as an atheist i just go one god further.

PS: Ruse is a philosophy professor, perhaps you'd be best reading some more scientificly-minded works first, then diving into the argumentative side of evolutionary science?

"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."
