That's a hell of a long way to say "no, no reasons". I'm pretty much 50/50 on heathen sperm or godless ova, myself.
In any case, Camus acceptance of a hierarchy of evidence, her "situation".....can't be the cause of her atheism because there are theists who are also in that "situation" (it doesn't really matter that there are people who aren't in that situation). Must be something else, if there's any particular reason. I think that you're expressing your own frustration more than any problem with there being no specific reason or belief for some hypothetical atheists situation.
I get it, too, some true things are truly unsatisfying.
I think that a nominally rational person would have a very hard time believing that all atheists have some reason for their situations. Some specific belief or process of rational inference. Now..that...that bends credibility to the point of positive disbelief. I could have remained a passive agnostic my entire life, but I couldn't maintain that one.
