Yes, atheists are a very scared lot.
It is all about control...the atheist cannot be god any longer and
must admit higher powers than themselves are in charge of their
life...that is what scares them to death.
....my discussion of this topic from an earlier post.

the poster look hysterical and silly. For the theists among us: I am
an atheist. I worship nothing.... Incidentally, so do you!"

How are we scared of something that doesn't exist?

You seem to be afraid of anything that might control the universe if
that thing has an actual mind and will which is above yours.

Because they reject everything supernatural from what I can tell.
People reject things when they are afraid of them.
