It's not intellectually satisfying. That's not the point.
The point is that I cannot justify any of the religions to myself on an intellectual level.
It's not replacing one explanation with another one, it's removing the explanation altogether. Just because someone comes up with an explanation for the question of "why we are here", doesn't mean that I am obliged to follow it or recognize it as legitimate.
Leave atheists alone.
I also encourage other people who identify as atheists to leave religious people alone as well.
