If they're not careful they may get what they're asking for. Religious wars are particularly nasty. If they can combine that with racial hatred, it would be apocalyptic. There are evil forces at work that want to destroy everything.
The bottom line is that atheists NEED God to disclaim and deny. Where would they be without Him? Without a word to say.
Nah, IMHO they are basically VERY lonely and happy people. They would find SOMETHING to gainsay and negate.
