There is no such thing as darkness, only lack of light
There is no such thing as coldness, only lack of heat
What's the difference between those who deny God and those who reject Him?
I'm sorry that the meme offended you.

You see a man holding a hammer, but you don't see a carpenter.
You see the tool without the man and view it as religious because that is your religion: you have faith in only the material word and the tools that created it because that's all you perceive.
You are offended by the juxtaposition of "Rational" beside "Atheist" implying the atheist view is irrational, this was intentional.
The rational view is that the house was built by a builder, rather than the nails being hammered in by floating magic tools. When you see something that's been built, it is rational to conclude someone had done it. When you know something was once chaos and you see that it has been put in order, it is irrational to believe it was done by floating magic.
What do you call someone who believes in something without evidence? Faithful. Atheists tend to be the most faithful folks there are. Their rigid disbelief of God and their faith in God's absence is ironically its own theism. Most kids grow out of it once they see they lack the evidence to disprove the world's various religions and move from a position of foolish certainty to agnosticism. The athiests who dont grow out of it and remain stubbornly faithful antibelievers are rightfully subject to ridicule and memes and jokes at their expense.
