Formula:
#1 I like "x" to be true, because i would dislike the consequences of "x != true".
#2 Starts looking for evidence to support his biased position

..
.
Insert:
x1 = god
x2 = objective morality
x3 having won a million in the lottery
Life sucks, there is neither a god nor objective morality, particularly not derived from an immoral monster like the christian god (which would make his morals pronouncements subjective too btw.). The universe doesnt give a fuck if you like or dislike those facts.
P.S.: Disclaimer: I just made some (over)simplifications to make a point.
