Not believing in God is almost understandable.

But this deviant urge to attack believers is inexplicable.

Seems to be targeted at Christians. I dare them to do it to Muslims.

The writer confuses arrogance for hyper-confidence. The listed comedians make their athiesism a huge part of their being, a material part of their essence. For example, Freddie Mercury didn’t make his sexuality a huge part of his being. Freddie is remembered for being a mammoth frontman with an awesome voice...who happened to be gay. In the case of these third-rate comedians, their popularity hinges on their athiesim. To wit: the South Park guys are also atheists but they aren’t in-your-face about it, and their show i10x funnier and wittier than Family Guy. Over time the hyper-losers will wither and die, about as popular as Paula Poundstone.

Everyone has a religion to some degree. Atheists are usually rabid leftists. Liberalism is a religion.

I’d argue that their hostility to God and subsequent hostility to believers is entirely consistent with their sinful nature. Romans 8:7 “The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so”. Jesus also told believers that the world would hate them because it hated Him first.

Also it’s the spirit of the age and the fruits of the negative side of the enlightenment emboldened further by the universal acceptance of evolution. It could also be the apostacy or great falling away that 2nd Thessalonians says must happen before the second coming and prior to the revealing of the man of sin (the antichrist).

If God didn’t exist, the Universe wouldn’t exist.

That thing that went “Bang” 14 billion years ago ... where did it come from?

I've heard similar thinking described in this phrase: "there is no God, and I hate Him."
