This.

Or maybe even some Mark Twain.

But the older I get, even though I enjoy the prose of atheistic writers, there's something about it at the bottom of it all that leaves you feeling like "meh".

Athiesm isn't a belief. Just don't think about it.
As soon as you begin reading about it you become an anti-theist.

Penn Jillete is your best bet. The man is like a modern day Bertrand Russel, except, well way smarter. As a child, Jillete was a prodigy. After teaching himself ancient Greek at age 7 from the texts of Plato, Aristotle and Dawkins he moved on to heavier thinkers such as Gervais and Jamaican astrophysicist De Grass Tyson. By the age of 11 he was rival to the foremost intellectual at the time, Sam Harris. After their first public debate (being Jillete's own first debate) Harris was dumbfounded. Jillette had completed the system of Dillahunty Idealism. Jillette having debunked philosophy moved on to greater things, debunking magic tricks and illusions. Decent thinker. Extraordinary penis.

"I wiped the blade against my jeans and walked into the bar. It was mid-afternoon, very hot and still. The bar was deserted. I ordered a whiskey. The barman looked at the blood and asked:

‘God?’

‘Yeah.’

‘S’pose it’s time someone finished that hypocritical little punk, always bragging about his old man’s power…’

He smiled crookedly, insinuatingly, a slight nausea shuddered through me. I replied weakly:

‘It was kind of sick, he didn’t fight back or anything, just kept trying to touch me and shit, like one of those dogs that try to fuck your leg. Something in me snapped, the whingeing had ground me down too low. I really hated that sanctimonious little creep.’

‘So you snuffed him?’

‘Yeah, I’ve killed him, knifed the life out of him, once I started I got frenzied, it was an ecstasy, I never knew I could hate so much.’

I felt very calm, slightly light-headed. The whisky tasted good, vaporizing in my throat. We were silent for a few moments. The barman looked at me levelly, the edge of his eyes twitching slightly with anxiety:

There’ll be trouble though, don’tcha think?’

‘I don’t give a shit, the threats are all used up, I just don’t give a shit.’

‘You know what they say about his old man? Ruthless bastard they say. Cruel…’

‘I just hope I’ve hurt him, if he even exists.’

‘Woulden wanna cross him merself,’ he muttered.

I wanted to say ‘yeah, well that’s where we differ’, but the energy for it wasn’t there. The fan rotated languidly, casting spidery shadows across the room. We sat in silence a little longer. The barman broke first:

‘So God’s dead?’

‘If that’s who he was. That fucking kid lied all the time. I just hope it’s true this time.’

The barman worked at one of his teeth with his tongue, uneasily:

‘It’s kindova big crime though, isn’t it? You know how it is, when one of the cops goes down and everything’s dropped ’til they find the guy who did it. I mean, you’re not just breaking a law, your breaking LAW.’

I scraped my finger along my jeans, and suspended it over the bar, so that a thick clot of blood fell down into my whisky, and dissolved. I smiled:

‘Maybe it’s a big crime,’ I mused vaguely ‘but maybe it’s nothing at all…’ ‘…and we have killed him’ writes Nietzsche, but—destituted of community—I crave a little time with him on my own.

In perfect communion I lick the dagger foamed with God’s blood."

do you want to be convinced? There is no ideology or worldview or whatever in atheism. If you already don't believe, you don't have to read anything from them specifically, instead you should be reading secular morality and philosophy. Greek classics, Nietzsche, maybe Rothbard if you're inclined.
