I agree!
"I have got knowledge that I have no belief in God so I decide to tell people this"
Yeah - I think it can motivate people.
The problem is atheism is just a name for something non existenct, having no belief in a god.
I look at it this way. A man is surrounded by other men who say monkeys can fly, he writes a book on how monkeys can't fly.
Was he motivated into writing this book by the people he was surrounded by or a belief that didn't exist and only mattered because of the people he was surrounded by?
Atheism is a blankness, an empty spot where theists have a belief in god,
It's also a bit like saying, the boss motivated his employees by not putting a pool table in the office.
He didn't motivate them he just didn't do something that would distract them.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
