Wrong. You barely knew who Kant was three microseconds before you read my post, and frantically Googling for random Intel about Kant does not cut the mustard.
I just finished a video class on Kant, and Kant finally formulates the three most fundamental questions that we all should ask:
1. What can I know?
2. Given the limits of my reason, what ought I do?
3. For what can I hope?

Again though, atheism is not a belief system or a faith. It's the absence of those things.
I don't know whether or not there is a creator that put this existence into existence. I think this most nearly describes my personal beliefs: "It's like dark matter and dark energy. Neither have been proved to exist yet the results of their existence are documented." I believe -- not KNOW but believe -- that there is more to just our meat space physical existence. Something spiritual transcends and survives the death of the physical corpus, I believe. Do we meet again on "the other side"? If so do we recognize each other? I do not know. I can only go by my own personal experiences with these matters. I also believe that if my beliefs are true, they are true for all living beings, not just homo sapiens and our forebears.

Jackson, I have a preeminent German philosopher who might appeal to cynical athesists even more than Nietsche.
Schopenhauer was the ultimate cynic and pessimist who felt there was no meaning to life, and the remedy was to adopt a disengaged attitude and indulge in the aesthetic enjoyment of life.

Exactly what Christ did. He knew the Pharisees were coming at him, trying to just stir up strife with gotcha questions........Jesus simply walked away.
He told believers to not engage "in endless arguments" with those who really aren't asking sincere questions regarding faith and salvation. They're only
posturing and scheming for their own selfish and prideful agendas.
Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

What are you blathering about now, Stench? What friend? Are you talking about my figure of speech that you apparently took literally? Did you know that inability to understand humor is common to the unintelligent? Well, now you do.
Here, a lovely parting gift chosen especially for you.

I pray to our lord jesus christ to send forth a love fog of hazy brilliance and loving dominion to envelop the hearts and souls of all those cut off from true love of the living god. your demonic bondages are broken. go forth and sin no more. Amen
Prove he does not exist. Faith is our "proof." YOU have no faith, so YOU have no proof.
You live and judge in the physical realm. You have no understanding of the spiritual realm and faith.
So, don't worry about it. Try to stay happy and content in this passing world without
the love of Christ in your heart. Stay happy with your fears, doubts, anxiety, unrest, anger and hate.
Others have simply chosen not to.

Atheism is more than that. It's a belief based doctrine putting science and self as God. Its existence is finite in being there to try to discredit all other faiths. What you describe would be just living your life carefree without needing to create a named doctrine to discredit others. Just being a human being that doesn't give a flying fuck about believing or not believing. There is no way to prove or disprove God, an afterlife, or a lot of that stuff. It doesn't stop them from trying and Atheists can be as curmudgeonly and bigoted as many in other faiths or belief structures
