Good thought, but this presumes believing in the first place, and disbelieving as a reaction. Most of the atheists I know, like myself, have never believed. And those rare ones I've found who "lost the faith", have never really, and sooner or later go back to it formally.

So you never mentally ask anything for answers or help?
Both of the extremes of hardcore belief and non-belief are flawed IMHO.
Only Agnosticism makes sense as none of us knows for sure.
As in an entity somehow existing outside of the laws of physics, yet capable of influencing the universe? No, never.
I think, when we are completely honest, we will admit to acting as though we are internally communicating with something that we don't talk to like it's just some internal dialogue with ourselves. What that means about the universe is pretty wide open, but the fact that we all do it seems worth noting.
Like you, I also don't believe that anything exists outside of existence to violate all of the laws of existence.
For lack of a better way to describe it, I think reality is the body of God. The closer we get to understanding reality, the closer we get to God. We are all a part of reality, & some sort of product of evolution, so I suspect there is some good reason for the way we talk to ourselves. Whether there is actually some sort of "super consciousness" or whether it's just our conscious selves talking to our subconscious selves is hard to really say.
For all we know, since we are a part of reality (God), maybe our subconscious is some sort of connection to God. It is at least our connection to all of the older preverbal systems that ultimately evolved & grew to form us.
I am completely honest: I have not experienced what you describe, ever. I have internal dialogues, I think and reflect a lot. But those are not directed to "something", it's just me thinking.
In any case, in practical terms, you seem to have a pantheist conception of the universe, and what you describe is completely removed from the common religious practice that people deal with on a daily basis, especially the believers of the Abrahamic religions with their books and their personal/tribal god(s).
My views are somewhat removed from modern religious teachings & interpretations, but they are based on my own read of religious texts. I think much of what is written is just exceptionally difficult to decipher because idioms & literary devices in multiple dead languages don't translate well.
To define the undefinable as being “an entity” or even “outside of … physics” is simply missing the point. IMHO
Regardless of faith, unknown unknowns are simply unknown. Science cannot measure these, yet acknowledges their “existence”. Even religion, which tries to qualify these, cannot agree on how to do so.
To leave a space for “the unknown” is neither theistic nor atheistic. It is neither scientific nor unscientific to ponder and “explore” these possibilities.
So yea. I’m down for asking … and have zero identity or assumptions in doing so.
Please do not move the goalposts. See the exact phrase to which I replied:
"So you never mentally ask anything for answers or help?"
"Anything" to which you address, mentally or otherwise, your requests or wishes must necessarily be an "entity".
Squeaking by on semantics. I’m good with that. Never underestimate the power of “what I meant to say”. 🫡
