The php53 package from the standard repo does not work well *, so you
are better off using a 3rd party repo. General consensus is that the
IUS repo (http://iuscommunity.org/) is the best one to use.
I would remove the atomic repo, install IUS, then install/update php from there.
Side point: Running arbitrary code from the web is a very bad idea, so
you should never do something like this:
wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic | sh # BAD!
* It's not so good because it does not provide proper rpm tags that
let other rpms know that php is installed. It announces itself as
"php53", and most package looks for "php", so they can't find it.
