I have an old Atari 2600 and i wanted to hook it up to my HD Projector just for the hell of it. The only video output the Atari has is coaxial and my Projector and Receiver only have RCA and HDMI. I have seen that many people use old VCR's but that seems absurd to have to plug in another electric appliance just to get the conversion. They make tons of RCA to Coaxial adaptors but i havent found one that is Coaxial to RCA. Is using a VCR the only way to achieve this?

The Atari is putting out an RF signal. You'll need an RF to composite adapter, simply getting a coaxial male to RCA female won't do the job (unless your projector has an antenna input.)
A VCR conveniently does this, and most people have one lying around; which is why you often see people using that.

Alternative is to modify the Atari and add connectors that directly output video and audio signals.

Forget using TV and use a USB TV tuner stick on channel 3.

Mod the Atari 2600, it's way easier than getting an active adapter, you can intercept audio and video before it enters the RF modulator.
