What gives an atheist powers?

Tweet

I am not religious myself, but i do believe that there is some kind of greater power or system that exists. I have heard that people always grab strength from Religion . Isn;t that a advantage over atheist? people pray to god for guidance sometimes, but who do atheists turn to if no ones there for them? If i need to do something ( like a competition ) , i always speak to myself pretending that somebody greater is listening, but i'm not sure if i can refer this to god, because i actually don't think of god or even mention god in my monologues. So, what gives an atheist power if not religion?
