“Talk to any atheist for a while, and you may find that they are obsessed with God (believing in the non-existence, that is).”
None of the atheists I know are like that. Also, I don’t think most of my friends even know I’m an atheist. It’s not worth advertising in today’s american culture. If what you said were true, what would be the relevance of it?
For example, Salman Rushdie admits he is obesessed with God, but he is a staunch athiest. It is the irony of the situation that in order to deny the existence of God, you must discuss God. It is meant as a joke.
