Well I want to say that I read about Nietzsche and it seems that he died from a "mysterious mental illness". Honestly, I think he collapsed under the stress of trying to accept that there is no objective morality, which he knew his worldview implied.
The first step to learning is to admit that you don't know.

The atheists I know aren't concerned with disproving God. They just don't see a connection between the consequences of a Godless Universe and the actual existence of God. Simply put, even if the atheist believed that their's is a bleak and hopeless existence without God, that belief says nothing about whether there actually is one. That's a separate question.
That's a good point you bring up. I would say that the majority of atheists are not concerned about disproving God. The mititant atheists are the ones that do and grab all the headlines. Most - like to be left alone to live life as best they can midst the backdrop of a bleak and hopeless existence without any purpose

Maybe most atheists don't try to disprove theism. But you should hear some American atheists complain here in the States when they find a manger scene in a public place or a billboard sign about God. If they get the secular utopia they seem to want, I won't live in it.
