These movies appeal to atheists, and we still only don't believe in deities. There's nothing to see here. If you started a thread that listed "Christian-friendly movies" and they were all about Christianity and things that interest Christians, I doubt people would say, "well, most movies don't even mention atheism, so they're Christian-friendly by default."
Because Christianity has specific sets of defining principles and beliefs involved. While atheism is just absence of belief. That's what I meant by that.

Hopefully, considering I haven't followed up with any sort of actual "gotcha!", most people can see that this was not my intention lol.

To my first point, I'll add that I now know what you mean though. Which is why I responded to Mooney with "fair enough", after she explained it.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
