People who make a statement like this demonstrate that they haven't a clue about how atheists think. The vast majority of atheists (myself included) don't believe in a deity because there is no evidence for the existence of a deity. If this deity were to suddenly "drop down from the sky" we would certainly have evidence! Of course, this being would then have to demonstrate that he (or she, or it) is, in fact, "God". Not to mention WHICH "God".
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
