I don't really understand what your point is, man. You don't really support an argument, or even come up with an example for 'things that exist for no good reason.'
Everything has an origin, Greek. So therefore a catalyst that sets something in motion to create whatever is being created, and thus provides a reason for the existance of an object/anomoly.

A true athiest believes in nothing, which I believe contradicts itself at the meaning of the word. You have to believe something, albeit in science or religion. Feelings and thought can be explained by your brain's functions, and how you were raised. At a very young age your brain begins to program itself with your surroundings, mimicing your parent's idiosyncrisies and manneurisms. You create a speech pattern and your morals are developed. So, once you have a foundation of your 'self', you begin to create levels upon that. You discern what right and wrong is according to you, and from that, you create a personality and a conscience. Your conscience is where your feelings come from, I believe.. but you could argue that your conscience is your soul, and you're running around in a circle, chasing your tail.

Take from that what you can. Word.
