There are theories or beliefs and better theories or more accurate beliefs. I believe my theory is better because it takes into account a lot more evidence, which in my opinion is reliable/relevant, and which is dismissed by other theories or beliefs and by atheism. I think people want the best, most accurate information there is, so they can live their lives in a better way, or be happier.
So do you believe there is a significant universal set of thoughts only shared by atheists which are holding them back? I'd be interested to hear what those are. I don't think of atheism as informing any of my thoughts. Rather, I am called an atheist simply because one kind of belief is missing from mine that is present for theists.
