10 Myths about Atheists Part 2

Atheists are just angry with God.


I actually have 2 thoughts regarding this statement.

First is the logical fallacy that's in action here. How can someone who doesn't believe in god/s be angry at something that's non-existent? That's like saying that you're mad at the air...or the pink unicorn...or the flying spaghetti monster...you just can't be mad at something that isn't there.

Second, I don't know (and they are mostly online and read what they've said and a few in person) a single atheist who has EVER claimed to be an atheist simply because they were "mad with god". I'm sure of this for 2 reasons, one of them is the first part of this post, the second is that they have looked at religion and realized that it is full of logical fallacies, unsupported literature, and a lack of evidence that has driven them to the decision to be an atheist. It's not something based on faith, it's something based on observable evidence and religion has none of that, particularly outside of it's related dogmatic texts.

So why do theists say that "atheists are mad at god and that's why they're atheists!!" (just picture someone putting their fingers in their ears, closing their eyes and yelling that at the top of their lungs)?

Simply put, they don't take the time to actually talk to an atheist, they just regurgitate the same bogus information that has been fed to them since they were young by their parents, their religious leader, and even their neighborhood sometimes. I can guarantee them, that if they took the time to speak to several atheists (not one, cause one person does NOT represent an entire demographic) they would see that they have been given disinformation for years and years.
