Stick a thumb up their pooper. If it's cold as ice--atheist. Anybody knows this is the only real way to tell.
Seriously, though... you have to ask. No way to surreptitiously tell. Think about what you're asking for a minute, and you'll see why everyone responded with a joke. There's no way to outwardly tell, no "atheist test" other than having a conversation with this person. Drop hints that you have doubts and see if he bites.
As for your second point, Amazon always has free audiobooks that you can get. I peruse their free section regularly. Recently I got one of my favorite books ever "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man," by James Joyce. Highly recommended.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
