Since I am an Atheist, do I have a right to enjoy the sunrise and sunset?

Yes, you do. They belong to nature.
There's only one:-)

I believe you have the potential to be exactly what God met his creature to be. He/she never met to be limited to the images churches all over the world (in every religion) try to push on us.
God IS his creation: The flowers and the weeds, the sunset, and the rain, the ocean and the desert, the deer and the lion, the baby, the old man, you and me, and each one on earth
I don't believe in a man-made god. I believe in a Universal God, beyond race, color, gender, culture, and creed. Does that make me an atheist? Maybe in the eyes of "religious" people. But I very much enjoy the sunset and the sunrise, and my relationship with the creator.

Yes the Bible says that Jehovah makes the sun shine on the wicked as well as the righteous, Now I am not here saying that you are wicked, but just answering your question, the sunrise and sunset were created for all to enjoy

To which what? It is a awesome site to see. You have the right to see the sun set and the sun rise. That is why my God is good, he does not judge you for the small things in life. To you i say ENJOY THE SUNRISES an THE SUNSETS.

"The Spirit of the LORD spoke through me; his word was on my tongue.
The God of Israel spoke, the Rock of Israel said to me: 'When one rules over men in righteousness, when he rules in the fear of God,
he is like the light of morning at sunrise
on a cloudless morning, like the brightness after rain that brings the grass from the earth.'
"Is not my house right with God?
Has he not made with me an everlasting covenant, arranged and secured in every part?
Will he not bring to fruition my salvation and grant me my every desire?
But evil men are all to be cast aside like thorns,
which are not gathered with the hand.
Whoever touches thorns uses a tool of iron or the shaft of a spear; they are burned up where they lie." - 2 Samuel 23: 2-7
To answer your question yes, as a human you do have the right to enjoy the sunset & sunrise, but remember time on earth is short. And if you chose to live for your youself and for the world now, then you will have to live with that decicion for eternity.

Question 1 Yes
Question 2 There is only one God.
Question 3 Yes
If you are an atheist why would you ask which god the events belong to?

Sunrise & sunsets were created for all to enjoy. God ( your choice of which God to believe in even no God) does not withhold his glory from anyone.

You are free to believe anything you want to believe. I am agnostic, and don't believe in any religion. However, I have no doubt that a creator is responsible for all these wonders. How could you conclude that this universe just appeared or evolved out of nothing?

Sure ya do! Just because you don't believe in the person that owns it, doesn't mean you can't enjoy it! Like, I don't believe in Bill Gates but I still like Microsoft! or something like that....
