Well that is complete bullshit for a start. Not all atheists think that way - I'm as hardcore atheist as they come and I ague that atheism isn't the default position but nothingness is. Only when you add theism, does atheism become anything at all.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
