It depends, of course, on what that leader says and does. But while Judaism *arguably* does command belief in God, belief in God is not a requirement to be a Jew. At worst, atheism is a sin "between the person and God" - but we don't expect people to never ever sin.

Further, if it is a sin, it is of the generally lesser category of failure to perform a positive commandment, rather than transgression of a negative commandment/prohibition.
