>No one is stupider than an atheist
Stupider huh? Terrible grammar aside, I am an atheist and you just projected a lot of bullshit. I do not claim to be a God. We as humans are a tiny speck in the Universe, we can become Gods but we are FAR from it.
> The only concrete truth that we can perceive is that we are, as far as we are aware, part of that reality
Yes, hence the disbelief in God. I believe in what I can perceive to be truth with my own senses, therefore believing in God would be mental gymnastics. I can not sense in any way or form a God.
I can not explain why we are here, but I do not care to, that’s irrelevant to me. I only care that we are and that I can change this reality even if just in a small way.
Your senses are flawed, a lot of what you see is determined by what you anticipate. It's an artifact of our hierarchical perception, what you "focus" on is small. What you perceive with your senses is not truth, rather your brain's interpretation of the actual reality. It is by its very definition not truth, actual truth is not temporally or contextually dependent. It is beyond time or cause and effect, which are artifacts of our interaction with that reality.
