The author, Tim Urban, is an atheist. You can check out the blog and look at other of his posts where he talks about it. He was using those illustrations to make a point and help explain what he's saying.
You really should read the whole thing. Skimming through it doesn't give it justice. It's good stuff!

Hm.. disappointed at the responses. I really thought you guys would like it.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
