An atheist is only a person who does not believe in gods. NOTHING ELSE is implied or may be inferred.

An atheist is just an ordinary person. His atheism does NOT make him a better or happier person. Eg he may well be an angry,miserable, paranoid bigot like that Condell fruitcake.

I don't know if you've ever been religious, but I can certainly attest to the vast difference in mental "lightness" between being a christian and being an atheist.

I don't think the article was about saying, "ooh look at us, aren't we just the cleverest little clogs?" but illustrating how freeing it is to not believe, and have to wrestle with the implications of all the ridiculous bullshit that comes with religion.
