Sophisticated atheism that has matured beyond infantile trash talk is sadly not very popular here.

If you want to really understand a philosophically defensible, rigorous defense of atheism I suggest The Atheists Guide to Reality by Alex Rosenberg.

Rosenberg begins with the assumption that the reader is an atheist. What he advocates is how to live well with "nice nihilism." His book is not a defense of atheism.
I think the set of views he lays out is the most philosophically defensible picture of atheism on tap.

If someone wants to "understand atheism", or see a " worldview without God", the nice nihilism he describes is certainly intellectually defensible.
