Yes, that explains their hatred of us. But I also wonder if a lot of it is something like, "Look at them, they get to sleep in on Sunday, don't have to tithe to the church, get to have sex out of wedlock, get to drink, and generally enjoy life, but I don't get to do any of that because I'm a fundie Christian who has to follow very strict rules in order to try not to offend God so I can get to heaven. It's not fair. Therefore, the only reason they claim to be atheists is so they can do all that stuff and not feel guilty."
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
