how to hold on to atheism when things keep getting worse?

RE: how to hold on to atheism when things keep getting worse?
Not sure what you mean by "hold on to atheism"?

Atheism is nothing more than not believing the god claims provided by theists. The quality of my life, good or bad, has no influence on whether I am convinced a god exists.

Either you are convinced that at least one god exists (theism), or you are not convinced (atheism).

Sorry you are going through so many problems. But none of them seem like they are worthy of a "permanent solution".

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.
