Well yeah in atheistic books theism is often attacked/refuted (but then you could argue that that is the antitheism in the authors showing, not the atheism) or its just to show a counter point "This is what they believe, this is why its wrong, in contrast this is what deists/atheists/whatever position you are advocating, believe...".
