Hi there Skygirl, welcome 
I'd be happy to answer any questions you have.
But a word of warning; atheism is just the position on a single claim (at least one "god" exists). And it's not saying the claim is false; just that it lacks evidence to demonstrate that it is true. I put god in quotes because there is no actual consensus on what a god is, everyone has their own idea.
Anything any particular atheist happens to say further to that is not necessarily representative of atheists as a whole. As such, there is not much to study.
Atheism is the logical conclusion of scepticism, but someone can come to the position by any number of other means too.
Now if you'll excuse me, these babies aren't gonna eat themselves...
