It’s even difficult for some atheists to not speak like they’re angry at God, which makes it near hypocritical for them to then say God doesn’t exist.
A lot of people, particularly those who have recently adopted an atheistic view of the world, are angry at god, but not god so much, just the people who represent the god in question. Even I, after all these years of freedom from the church, find it very difficult to not confuse the imaginary mythical being with the massive flock of delusional people that worship it. I don’t think it’s hypocritical to be angry at a god that doesn’t exist so much as it’s just misplaced rage at the ones wielding the scriptures and dogmas as if they were sword and shield. You can’t very well go out and cull the stupid, so the frustration manifests itself in a different way. ie.-Anger at god.
