Is atheism escapism?

[Whateverist]

I often wonder if atheism is a form of escapism, an escape from moral responsibility or even critical thought.

Why would people who were so sure God did not exist spend so much time thinking and talking about God.

If there is no God, why do we have a conscience, something none of the other animals have?

If the world is so meaningless and empty, why does man search for meaning?

Its so clear God exists and atheists just refuse to acknowledge and worship Him.

I know athesits. They are deadened souls with no morals. They keep telling me you don't need to be a Christian to be moral, but unlike the committed Christians I know, the atheists/agnostics are barely interested in questions of what is moral or not, and act as if morals do not matter

You don't strike me as a serious person.  Are you here on a prank?  Surely you don't imagine anyone gives a damn what you think about atheists.  All this drivel is based on your own capricious imagination and I find no insight into any actual atheist I've ever known.  You bore me.

Hmm. That wasn't too kind, was it? Win some, lose some.
