Being an Atheist, or expressing similar beliefs is not a denigration. If they were, Mother Teresa would have been villified, too:

"In my soul I feel just that terrible pain of loss,” she wrote in 1959, “of God not wanting me — of God not being God — of God not existing.” According to the book, this inner turmoil, known by only a handful of her closest colleagues, lasted until her death in 1997."

Experiencing moments of doubt does not make one an atheist.
