Will atheistic materialism produce itself?
No. Materialism is the idea that everything is either made only of matter or is dependent upon matter for its existence. It is possible for a philosophy to be materialistic and still accord a place to spirit, but most forms of materialism tend to reject the existence of spirit or anything non-physical. That last category would be atheistic materialism. Since atheistic materialism is not a thing made from matter, it's rather an idea and we don't think of ideas as being able to reproduce themselves. They are carried forward in the thoughts of subsequent generations of thinkers.
