And there are existential stances which cannot be IMHO justfied by either reason or appeal to experience. For example, the belief that reality has a rational order cannot be grounded in any more fundamental belief.

What does it mean to say that reality has a rational order? What do you mean by rational order here?

I am not asking trick questions. What non-theistic absolutes, if any, do you, as an atheist, believe in?
