As you've been told, there's nothing to "get" about atheism. It's disbelief in god claims. You don't believe in Zeus and thousands of other gods for pretty much the same reason I don't believe in yours. Simple.
But here's a belief I hold that has nothing to do with atheism and that pertains to your end times fantasy. I believe that "Revelation" isn't a book of divine fortune-telling meant for an audience two-odd millennia after it was written. I believe it was a work of urgent concern both to the author and to his audience and was written the way it was because to come right out and name the Romans would have been ill-advised for obvious reasons.
For that reason, I simply can't take end-timers seriously except as psychological curiosities.
Oh, and welcome!
