RE: If you're an Atheist, what comforts you?

I don't tend to need much comforting.  I enjoy good food and discovering hidden truths about the world, via philosophy.  Though since you ask about books and videos, I can pass along a few recommendations.  I find the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu and the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius quite stabilizing (the Gia Fu-feng translation for the former; the Stephen Mitchell translation and the John C.H. Wu translation are also good).  I don't remember it much, but my recollection of Markings by former U.N. secretary Dag Hammarskjold offered considerable wisdom concerning the existential situation.

I also find Thomas Cleary's translation of Sun Tzu's Art Of War with commentary comforting, but that may be just me.
