Yep. What we are seeing here is not atheism but misotheism (a hatred of God) and dystheism (a belief that God is evil)—what James 2:19 calls demonic.

Well, I've learned new words! Thanks! I figured them out by prefix, but looked them up anyway. Came up with the phrase, "causing ire is my greatest happiness."

Some of the exchanges on this thread surely seem about "causing ire," which seems unnecessary to my view. On other threads and regarding other subjects, this seems a fine descriptive to "nail" what goes on, from time to time.

As has been said of Satanism and other sorts of notions, at the root lies God. And resentment, which so often is a reaction to injury or even perceived injury where there is none really. Echoes of the older French, secular socialist thought come to mind. Not to mention Marx' view about which Wurmbrand and Kengor have written, with the added reflection that Marx worked in England and is buried in Highgate. Such "European" sorts of thinking imported to these United States.

Goading others does seem a bit of a sport here on FR threads these days.
