In TES lore, there are numerous interactions between mortals and Gods, several are even witnessed in-game. This makes it impossible to refute the existence of Gods, therefore Atheism in-game is illogical. If the lore was written so that the Gods never directly showed/proved their existence, TES lore would be completely different. So, yes, TES ruled out the possibility of any form of Atheism, but the games would be completely different if the Gods never proved their existence. As for being an Atheist in-game, you could roleplay that your character hates every form of higher being, but it would make no sense to completely deny their existence. I hope you find a solution, good luck! ...I love your name...
