If you want a serious thinker's thoughts on atheism, you are better off picking up a book by Nietzsche, Charles Taylor, David Bentley Hart, the Oxford Handbook of Atheism, or any other number of thinkers, or browsing the articles here: https://plato.stanford.edu/search/searcher.py?query=atheism https://plato.stanford.edu/search/searcher.py?query=atheism
