Atheism is easy to dissect: The axioms on which it rests - themselves not subject to the scientific method which is the litmus test of truth for atheism - cannot be accounted for in a Godless universe. Neither can self-awareness, right and wrong, etc.
"The End of Faith" is a misnomer, since atheism itself is a faith - just one that begins from a different presupposition. Isaac Asimov, Gordon Stein, and other celebrated atheists freely admit their inability to prove God's nonexistance.
Nor pink elephants. And that one doesn't believe in pink elephants does not mean such a person is trying to be one, as often charged by their critics.

This is the nub of the problem with materialism. In the end, any epistemology relies on faith of some sort. Your belief that you live in a real world and are not just having your senses folled by some cosmic practical joke - that too is an act of faith.
Atheists haven't chosen to believe in no God, they have chosen to have faith in randomness and chance over sentient God. As a consequence, the moral dimension of life is left hanging. If you are a gambler maybe, or you can take up Pascal's wager and believe. It's a more compelling hypothesis and fits Occam's razor - it explains more with less.
