Shouldn't atheists refuse meaning in life and accept its inherently bad ? Philosophy

Atheism arises from rationality i.e logic. If God doesn't exist (obviously doesn't) then you can't say there is a grand plan ! Existence is just pointless. In a pointless existence we have wars, crimes, predation, natural disasters, torture, exploitation and slavery, accidents, diseases and many more inevitable sufferings going on. Nobody can stop these these are inevitable.

Can you deny these facts ? If not then the only rational solution for existence is extinctionism. Extinction of all conscious sentient living beings. As rationalists you must agree to that ?

Nope. Christianity is the philosophy of inherent guilt and shared shame. Atheism is the rejection of such misanthropy. Only in christianity is human kind disposable and innocence crucified for the sake of criminals.
