We all wonder why bad things happen to good people, why do we love, where does hate, justice, etc. come from, whats it all about. You put on a front like it dosn't matter, or you never think of such things. You think its from our neurons or whatever. I'm sure you believe in evolution, talk about your mental masterbation. But you do believe its from something. Come back down to Earth. And one more thing, thanks for the comment about my english--Public Schools
Atheism is not a claim that needs to be supported by evidence. It is a response to a claim.
Theists believe a god exists. Atheists disbelieve that claim. Theists are the ones with the burden of proof.
If theists want to convince atheists that a god exists, it is up to them to provide evidence. Atheists don't need to provide evidence that a god does not exist, any more than those that disbelief in: Bigfoot, alien abductions, ancient aliens, etc need to provide evidence that they don't exist.

All those things matter. I think about them often.
There are natural explanations for all of them. No need for the supernatural.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
