I don't think that's true, and I just don't know how you could maintain it in the face of the many atheists devoted to whatever cause or effort they're in.
I still don't know what you're talking about by replacing something with atheism. Atheism is the answer to the question of whether or not a person believes in gods - not a replacement for anything. Nor do I understand why atheism would be beautiful - again, it's just the answer to a single line item. You're talking about ideology, at this point, I think. People who don't believe in gods do have ideologies, just like people who believe in gods. The overlap is fairly broad, in general.
As is the concept and perception of ineffability.
