Morphology

atheistical = atheist (transparent) = atheist + ical

The adjective is a straightforward relational formation from 'atheist', meaning 'relating to atheists or atheism'.

Etymology

Atheistical comes from the Greek parts a- meaning 'not' and theos meaning 'god', the same root you see in theist and theology, so it describes someone or something 'not' believing in God.
