Atheism takes away my ability to recognize God in the universe.

In general or just you in particular? Since atheists sometimes convert to a theistic belief, I think we can rule out 'in general', so why do you in particular think atheism would take away your ability to recognize God in the universe? You make it sound like a faculty you possess that atheists lack which you would lose the instant you stopped believing God is real, in which case atheists can hardly be blamed for not perceiving what you claim to perceive. It sounds very fishy that there would be things you can only perceive if you believe in them a priori, and even fishier that the people who claim to perceive those things disagree on so much.

If there's a God, it's welcome to compel my belief. Why don't I rate a Road to Damascus revelation? Am I not persecuting Christians enough?

When atheists look at the world, they look at it as purely one level. How we perceive things is strongly related to our worldview. If God has revealed itself to us we can recognize him in all. This doesn't mean that once we believe then we manufacture his presence. It means that we need to know what we're looking for or we miss it.

As far as the experience you're looking for, I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.
