But atheism must work just like a religion you guys!

We have to have someone telling us what to think! How else could things work? Think for ourselves? Hah!

I've never read a single Dawkins book. I've seen him in a few videos, that's about it. Just like everyone else, I see if he has anything useful to say. If so, I consider it and whether it impacts my beliefs. The parts I don't consider worthwhile, I discard.

There's no need to just accept everything someone says, or else reject them entirely. That's the dogmatic religious mindset at work. Prominent atheists can be good at putting forward some of the popular arguments, and breaking misconceptions about atheism in general, but that's about it. If you think they are in any way "leaders", or have some actual power over all atheists, you're living in a fantasy world.

Yes, well...Change is coming, regardless.

Never could fathom how one's to go about distinguishing such a change from the constant changes taking place as a matter of existence, without leaning heavily on confirmation bias...barring the consideration of remarkably unprecedented events, of course.

As far as I  can tell, I've yet to hear from anyone regarding the last time I A/S/Ked. Or the time before that. 
I'll be sure to drop a post if anyone ever gets back to me, though.

If their was a first second or third time you A/S/K, then know you did not A/S/K. You A/S To Knock is to repeat the A/S part till you get what you are looking for.

Just keep repeating the A/S/K process until you convince yourself of your delusions.  It'll happen, even if it takes a lifetime.
