Good one! but would that not make you Agnostic?
I would like to say I am Atheist of the Epicurian school but that would mean also getting down to paganism!

let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword

Be aware that the genuine meaning of epicurian is more sobriety and simplicity than the hedonism that you're alluding to.

Buddhism offers technics such as breathing or Mantra singing.
Unfortunatly, christianism in his current form, has lost this esoteric dimension.
You only have to BELIEVE in what they said but it offers no "technic" to feel better, to connect with the infinity. Prayer is not a good one, IMO, as it exalts human ego.
