It is definitely a defense mechanism. Straight up No True Scotsman.

Amongst we atheists you sometimes find some who are really believers but just really hurt or disappointed with some event they blame God for. You know these are really itching to kiss and make up. Being atheist for them is like holding their breath until they turn blue .. they can't really do it.
