Putting on my atheist hat for a minute, I think these statistics are interesting in reminding people that there is an underlying biological and evolutionary process underlying mate selection. You’re being evaluated for biological fitness criteria.
That said, individual chemistry is highly variable so these particular criteria are just a proxy and negotiable. Don’t take stated criteria at face value. My now wife’s type was chubby 6-foot plus midwestern future lawyers. But then she met a 5-9 Bangladeshi in law school and got baby fever and that was that. My personal view of it is God has a plan for all of us, but if you’re an atheist you can see it as the chemistry of biological compatibility being highly complex and individualized.

What is atheist about your comment? Nothing I can see. God has a plan for us does not contradict the evolutionary factors.
A lot of non-atheists are also vocally opposed to, say, teaching evolution in schools. It's easy to see how someone might think atheists typically believe in something that does contradict evolution.
I get where it comes from, but it is a very narrow view of the world. Its only really "a lot of non-atheists" in the US and maybe parts of the Middle East, and even then its not a majority of them AFAIK.
I think even religious people who believe in evolution (and non-religious people who were socialized into religious ideas) are sometimes uncomfortable applying evolutionary concepts to pair coupling in humans specifically.
