Says respected psychologist Paul C.Vitz.
I really think this is something to consider.

Sure, atheists may claim to have studied religion and the Bible and found it full of alleged inconsistencies, supposed cruelty and injustice, but that is not true. A far simpler explanation is because their fathers didn't love them, therefore these unsaved souls can't love our invisible Heavenly Father.

I think it is safe to say all atheists were either molested by no True Christian™ clergy or they had bad fathers. That is what turned them off to religion. When they come here, we should ask them what happened to make them hate Jesus so much.

A popular book that links atheism with shoddy fathering is getting a second life with a new publisher, thanks, in part, to the rise of nonbelief in the United States.
“Faith of the Fatherless: The Psychology of Atheism” by psychologist Paul C.Vitz posits that “intense atheists” throughout history — Nietzsche, Voltaire and Madalyn Murray O’Hair — had absent or rotten fathers. This, he argues, damaged their ability to form a relationship with a heavenly father.
Vitz also holds that many notable believers — Renaissance man Blaise Pascal, anti-slavery activist William Wilberforce and Nazi martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer, among others — had great relationships with their dads, and were therefore more able to build relationships with God.
“We need to understand atheism has a lot to do with our emotional attitudes towards life, other people and a lot of other things,” Vitz said from his office at the Institute for the Psychological Sciences, a Catholic graduate school in Arlington, Va. “I think that is an important thing for atheists and believers alike to take into consideration.”
And consider it they have. When the book first appeared in 1999, it polarized critics. The religious media loved it. New Oxford Review, a Catholic publication, described it as “an engaging analysis of psychological factors in religious belief and disbelief.”
But the atheist and humanist media did not swoon. Skeptic magazine panned it as “insulting to those of us who came to a point of non-belief as the result of careful study and consideration.”
Still, the book struck a chord, especially among Christian groups who saw the collapse of the traditional family as a threat to their beliefs. Focus on the Family, a Colorado-based Christian ministry, used Vitz’s findings to promote its outreach to fathers, and he was cited by a host of Christian psychologists and scholars.
So why revise the book?
A lot has changed since 1999. For one, the first decade of the 21st century saw the rise of the so-called “New Atheists” — outspoken critics of religion such as Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Daniel Dennett, whom many contemporary atheists credit for swelling the ranks of nonbelievers.
And their ranks have swelled. According to the Pew Research Center, the percentage of Americans who are atheists and agnostics has grown from 3.7 percent to 5.7 percent from 2007 to 2012, and the overall number of those who say they have no religion has grown from 11.6 to just under 14 percent in the same time period.
“The rise of militant, evangelical, fundamentalist atheism in our time adds to the pertinence of this book,” said Mark Brumley, president of Ignatius Press, the Catholic publishing house that has reissued the book.
“Some atheists try to equate atheism with rationality. Vitz’s book shows that atheism, like many belief systems, has significant irrational elements.”
Vitz said he wanted to revise the book not only to include the New Atheists, whose family relationships he scrutinizes (Dawkins was sexually molested by a clergyman, a subject he has discussed before), but also because there was new research about atheists and attachment theory (generally, they didn’t get much of it) and atheists and autism (many autistic people are also atheists, the book claims).
As he did in the first edition, Vitz makes an important point — the book does not try to prove or disprove the existence of God. Rather, its goal is to examine some of the “irrational” underlying reasons some people become atheists.

In a shell they're but-hurt, either literally or figuratively speaking.

Cry babies the all of them.

Can't wait to hear them crying in hell.

Interesting hypothesis, Brother Levi, showing as it does the need for a strong male presence in the household. There are a couple of points that mystify me, though:

According to the Pew Research Center, the percentage of Americans who are atheists and agnostics has grown from 3.7 percent to 5.7 percent from 2007 to 2012, and the overall number of those who say they have no religion has grown from 11.6 to just under 14 percent in the same time period.

Excuse me, but if you have no religion, that makes you an atheist in my book!

Rather, its goal is to examine some of the “irrational” underlying reasons some people become atheists.

Why the quotation marks around the word "irrational"? That makes it sound that people's "reasons" (and yes, my use of quotes there is intentional) for becoming atheists might possibly be rational!

Well this makes perfect sense. I've long known that my brother in laws job on the oil rig has left my eager young Nephew vulnerable to atheism.

The time he spends with his mum absolutely needs to balanced out by a strong man's firm, muscular hand. I have no doubt that if it were not for my (and to a much lesser extent Magda's) near constant depiction of homerism in all of it's intricate forms he would be completely ignorant: ignorant of all the things he needs not to do that the gaywise seem to revel in doing (rimming, feltching, snowballing, tea bagging etc).

With my research material and Magda's talented if amateur illustrations he knows exactly what those devient a get up to and in know incertain terms knows exactly what not to do.

What uncle (and uncle's char lady) could do more?

This is so true and homosexuals were all abused by their mothers. I once met a co-worker who had been beaten by his mother all his life so he hated women now and loved men. He was very creepy and from the second I met him I could sense the evil in his eyes .

Back before my husband and I moved to our farm, my husband used to run a bakery. I was in charge of baking pies and small cakes the co-worker was the man who delivered our ingredients. I was not paid for my work as such a thing would be shameful.

That is very reassuring to read that you have put all that unseemly 'work' business behind you.

Kindly tell us about your pie.

No, atheists display their contempt for GOD openly, "no religion" are often those from false religions who felt that it was wrong but couldn't find JESUS yet.

There is much more hope for the latter group.

Yes, and please for the sake of all the True Christian™ men here, load your detailed description with all manner of sensory invoking adjectives. We want to virtually be able to smell and taste it.

Brethren, it makes my hands tremble with religious reverence to inform you that Adopt-an-Atheist.com will be launched soon.

We will provide pro bono legal support to any True Christian™ who wishes to seize custody of the children of atheist families in a court of law. We mainly want to go after the pot smoking ones with private detectives, so that their parents can be locked up and sodomized as punishment for raising children in the pagan tradition of Darwinism, and we can turn the hearts of their children against them forever by teaching them about God and Jesus.
