Mabe the athiest’s sick feeling is called guilt. Maybe the Holy Spirit is trying to get someone’s attention.
It's probably 80% wanting attention, the sin of vanity, and 20% the sin of envy, wanting to deny or destroy something for someone else. This type of atheist has a lot in common with the typical vain vegetarian. They are always leftists.
Strong religious faith has many advantages. A key advantage, seldom recognized, is winning at war, and similarly winning at team sports. A nation that shuns religion, especially in its military, is doomed. The 5 to 10% of the population that have no capacity for religious faith should support the 90 to 95% that do for their own good.
