It's a common theist tactic: the only reason that unbelievers 'reject' whatever god is under discussion is that we are angry, hurt or otherwise damaged, by the god or the earthly agents thereof. Dehumanising your opponents makes them easier to deal with. There is also the fringe benefit of avoiding the real question of why we reject the god; i.e., if we are seen as perfectly happy in our unbelief, the theist can be as well. So we have to painted as the hateful ones.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
