Isn't the problem with Atheism is that it is too esoteric?

Ancients summed up the whole of human wisdom in the maxim, know thyself. I believe there is for me no more important as there is no more difficult knowledge, than knowledge of myself and I express this knowledge of myself by building my model of self and world. Some negativists fail to see the importance of answering the grand enigmatic questions surrounding existence in a manner that produces the most powerful emotional responses of joy, faith and love imaginable. When confronted with their own mortality or the mortality of a loved one negativists may wind up feeling sad, depressed, anxious, frightened, angry, and or alienated, losing hope and faith, turning to drugs and behaving badly. I expect that having no answer to the grand enigmatic questions surrounding mystery of existence could lead negativist to a spiritual dead end. I expect that spiritual dead end would interfere with their need and aspiration to achieve and maintain good health and happiness.
