Keep that Godless athiest out of the state of GA.

It's "atheist" and calling them "Godless" is a bit of redundant, don't you think? By the way, billions of humans would call you "Godless" too, simply because you didn't grow up where they grew up to accept a different Bronze Age myth.

This is a pro-Christian site.

You may not admit to any fear of God, but you appear to have hostility toward Christianity, or religion in general, which is pretty much the defining quality of self-proclaimed atheists, in my experience. The existence of a book in a drawer in a hotel room doesn't threaten anyone who doesn't believe it, and it doesn't force anyone to read it. A true non-believer would simply ignore it, or smile at the quaintness, instead what we get is "F***ing religious nuts, pushing their Bronze Age invisible man in the sky on everyone!" The only reason for even the slightest hostility is fear.

I think the true fear of any atheist is that he might be wrong. He can set this fear aside if he can avoid any exposure to religion, but then he goes into a hotel room and sees a Bible and has a fit, because there is yet another reminder that some people believe in God, and it reignites that latent fear that there actually is a God, and that He might look upon atheism unfavorably.

What the subject of this article is engaging in is what I have seen properly called "evangelical atheism", which is to say that he is trying to prevent as many people as he can from believing in God, or, possibly, even get some believers to stop. There is no logical reason for that, unless he has a fear of that religion. Otherwise, why would he care that people are Christians?
