What is the atheist explanation for the origin of language? Is it general, in the sense of selective pressure in an evolutionary worldview? Or is it more specific? Put another way, why and how did language begin?

You have misunderstood what atheism is.

But you may be wanting a scientific explanation. 

And for that google is your friend.

You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
