I think it's a forum thing. After all on a forum we rely on the written word to convey everything. Naturally aspiring writers gravitate towards that. Also most of the best writing is done by people that are atheist or specifically ignoring the influence of their religion. What's more is that if you look at a list of the most influential authors many are open atheists like George rr Martin or hp Lovecraft.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
