What the Atheist needs to come to terms with is that they are also deeply religious and promote a worldview that is just as religious as any other. The "we are not religious, we stand on evidence" is one of the biggest crocks yet devised.
The error you make here is to imagine that all the people you subsume under "atheist" think the same. I think that is possibly even less so than lumping all monotheistic people as "the same" - Shiites, Mormons, Copts, Eastern Orthodox, Pentecostal, Hasids, Southern Baptists..... It's not so.
