Cynicism is a trait that is not inherent in atheism or antitheism. Even a religious household can have a cynical view of the world. Religion is an easy answer that provides wonder and a sense of belonging. But it is also a dead end, limited to it's own ingrained doctrine.
Finding a sense of belonging in the complex Balance of Order and Chaos in the universe we live in isn't as easy but it is no less magical. This existence that each and every one of us shares has limitless potential. We are only confined by our imaginations and determination to provide everyone with a better future.
The harder an upbringing, the harder it is to find faith in the future of humanity, but it is not impossible. And our faith should be in humanity. Not in a faceless, absent God that offers answers so long as we don't question.
