No. Sikhs by definition are not atheists. Atheists do not believe in any kind of Supreme Being. Observant Sikhs do.

SIkhs, however, are NOT immune from a crisis of faith. If this is what you are experiencing, talk to other SIkhs or a local gyani or even seek regular counseling. Additionally, keep chanting the Naam to achieve a meditative mind and understand that the Creator's View of things is much greater than any of us, and that He always has a reason for what He does.
