Yeah, [I have mentioned before](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-s-the-worst-thing-about-being-an-atheist/983166/100) that being an atheist doesn’t always give me as much of a cognitive/emotional scope for nonspecific gratitude expression as I might prefer. But it is an extremely minor downside to an atheist worldview, at least IME.

If that’s really the “worst moment” that I as an atheist can expect from my belief system, then thank—well, thank whatever or whoever for that! 🤣
