The idea of an atom being uncuttable came from when they were first theorized. The way to split an atom coccurs in radioactive elements (i.e. Uranium or Plutonium) and is done by the atom decaying naturally due or via bombarding it with a neutron which wil, cause it to split. When nuclear fission occurs large amounts of energy are released.
