I try to see it through atheist view, but it just seems the beauty, glory, praise, all just disappears, as if we don't know and don't perceive, but we do perceive and know.

This steams my buns. Does knowing music theory ruin music? No. Does knowing art history diminish the masters? No. If anything, it enhances it.

Seriously. A musician doesn't cease to appreciate music, just like an atheist doesn't cease to appreciate nature, life, and existence. It's a liberating and enhancing experience to not attribute all of the universe's natural beauty to some big sky wizard. It becomes far less awesome when what took nature 14 billion years to create is diminished to the wave of a hand. It certainly denigrates its significance.
