I think Atheism has nothing to do with the Dajjal --- idol worship and shurk are (MUCH) bigger sins than Atheism or being Agnostic, which can be remedied differently and properly with each individual and his/her reasons behind doubting the existence of a creator.

The Dajjal would be having people that believe without thinking (unthinking sheep followers) and therefore are easily led astray to the false belief that worshiping him is what God wants them to do.

Shirk is a form/type of Kufr. The one who rejects the existence of the Creator is worse in disbelief (Kufr) than a person who believes in a creator, but worships others besides him.

Imam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) said:

مَن أنكر المعاد مع قوله بحدوث هذا العالم فقد كفَّرَه الله ، فمن أنكره مع قوله بقدم العالم فهو أعظم كفرا عند الله تعالى

The one who denies the Hereafter but believes that this universe is created is described by Allah as a kaafir. The one who denies it and says that this universe existed from eternity is a worse kaafir in the sight of Allah, may He be exalted.

(I'm sure other 'Ulama` said the same regarding atheism being a bigger sin.)
