I actually think it is atheism which lacks depth.

The "drippy theist" thinks something.

The atheist thinks nothing.

That's an interesting way of putting it. I don't think you've accounted for all the atheists, if any, though.

I don't fit into your description. As a former theist, can you please explain to me how I got to my current state without thinking about anything?

Sure. Let me go and track down a few dozen authoritative quotes from atheists assuring me that atheism is NOT a matter of deliberate choice.
I think I even saw one such post here quite recently.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
