No, you use a serial output to control a serial LCD. I don't use STAMP's, but you usually get examples for them, I would expect the Atom to come with STAMP examples.

it should be fairly easy to write to a stamp,

use the serout function,
SEROUT 0,N2400,("text here") ...for 2400bps..on pin 0


or

SEROUT 0,84+$4000,("text here") ....for 9600 bps...on pin 0
