If it helps, atheism is not a belief system. It is, simply, the negation of theism, 'not theism' or 'without theism'. The '-ism' part belongs to your side, not ours.

Neither does theism have the answers you seek. Theists merely like to assert that it does, but it is an empty assertion, devoid of anything but wilful blindness even to make the attempt to look for answers. "It is a tale told by an idiot; full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
