Some people are very angry with a god who did not come through for them. So they stopped believing in God, but they stayed angry. As someone pointed out, now you are angry at something you don’t think exists. If someone says they do not believe in a god because they have never much thought about it or were never taught anything, they are rarely angry. They might be puzzled at believers, but they are not angry. When I find anger and non-belief in the same person, their atheism is suspect. You cannot be angry at what does not exist. Maybe that is why Step Two in recovery programs is about asking to be restored to sanity, so you can at least be angry at what does exist or drop the anger.
