I've also found an unfortunate amount of Atheists that appear to have been genuinely what the Christians called "Mad At God" types. They didn't actually not believe in God. They just didn't like God because of what it represented in their mind (typically abusive and zealous parents). It has, over time, lead to a lot of the Atheists becoming Leftist religious zealots, or even claiming they are Christian.

It seems to be a thing with some people that they still don't develop themselves as individuals and they just move form one sect to another that may be more temporarily useful to their own emotional needs at a given time.

As time goes on, I feel more and more like I'm one of the few people who had genuinely deconverted from religious faiths and have embraced the "God is dead and it is we who have killed him" quote which makes taking responsibility for the death of God (in your mind) a moral imperative; and to replace the concept of God altogether.

There's just a swath of people who never really grew up, and it's sad.

It's Al Bundy syndrome all over again.
