Yeah it isn't really the case that atheists have no answer to the 'really big questions' while theists do. Theists just assert that they have answers which surpass what science can vouchsafe. Like theists, atheists don't have answers to such questions either. The difference is we're not claiming any secret friend who whispers the answers in our ears, or into the ear of a bible scribe 2000 years ago.
