If there’s something else here, I didn’t spot it.

You did not provide any rational reason why Atheism doesn't make sense. To the contrary, I am more convinced than ever that Atheistic acceptance of the world is just as rewarding as any that a christian believes. Religion, in my case, is just not necessary for me to live my life and unlike yourself I have never been "an angry and hostile atheist".
It is clear from your lecture that people need religion because they want some higher power to excuse them of their misdeeds to society, what you term sins. This may come to a great shock to you but atheists can be good citizens, be generous to the poor, pay their taxes, look after their children and parents in their old age, be good neighbours and sleep well at night still knowing that after death we will become stardust again.
Its been my observation that the people that eventually go craziest are the ones that spend the majority of their thinking towards understanding the "meaning of life" and find respite within religious doctrine for their lasting sanity so I don't have any issue with that and I would never try and dissuade you from your God. Some of us just don't need it to live.
