Religious scholars have to explain why those who strive succeed and not those who pray? A farmer who strives will succeed, a pirate who strives will succeed, a land grabber who strives will succeed, but if you go to the beach and start praying to god you will not succeed.
An atheist is having no belief in an higher being/god. I don't know where you pulled out "not to dwell in fantasy".
