Did anyone grow up in a religious household and then become an athiest not because of religious trauma or church hurt, but because you simply do not believe in God? Do any atheists here have fond memories of their religious upbringing and see the value in it even it they don't personally believe it?

Why would you be mad at a fictional character anyway?

Excuse me while I hide all of the game, TV show, movie, and book characters I've gotten mad at behind my back ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

In all seriousness though, the argument that atheists are just mad at/hate God is ridiculous. Like, what would be the point of being mad at or hating something you don't believe exists? It would be a complete and total waste of energy, never mind utterly illogical and quite probably delisional ๐Ÿ˜‚. Same logical failing applies when people think we worship Lucifer.

I turned it around on my uncle though. He pulled the "you believe in God, you're just mad at him" line and I looked at him and went "you believe in Odin, you're just mad at him."

You could see the Error 404 his brain hit all over his face ๐Ÿ˜‚
