Atheist doesn't mean completly rational, in fact no-one is that.
Atheist literally mean that you don't believe in any superior god, in fact also buddhist are atheist (or agnostics, depending on the type) from that point of view.
I believe that not exist nothing such spirits or supernatural manifestation, in fact the world "supernatural" itself sound to me like a big fat oxymoron: if is in nature it cannot be super-nature. If is in nature then science can study it, and learn from it, can be not rational but it IS, HERE and NOW.
Then this pragmatical approach doesn't stop me to be VERY emotional, romantic and so on.
Where I find confort in the tragedy of life? In friends, other people, rationality itself, I feel that lying to me isn't the right way to confort myself.
I done it for a time, but it was Wrong, talking to myself pretending that I was talking to god pretending that it was relevant for my happiness. All was a lie, fake and kinda "artificial". And I cannot base my happiness on a lie.
