Why are your assumptions that you HAVE to be able to understand the universe in an ordered and rationally intelligible way, a problem for atheists? This sounds very much like a YOU problem.

The theist has a simple explanation for what we observe in Nature: a rational and intelligent creator. The atheist or non-theist, on the other hand, has to explain this in terms of natural processes that obey natural laws that provide the framework for the order we see. So, it is a very difficult task indeed.
