Yep. Shit happens. Sometimes shit happens to good people. And there's nothing you can do but cope. I don't find "solace" per se in my atheism, but for me it's the most sensible, logical explanation for everything. Occam's Razor.

In fact, here's another answer to the question: I believe that we'll eventually figure out the origins of the universe, and that they will be scientific and natural, and have nothing whatsoever to do with any deity or omnipotent power. It clearly won't happen in my lifetime, but I think it will someday happen.
