== Atheism, love, God, anger and apathy ==
[[Jesus Christ]] said that greatest commandment in the [[Old Testament]] is to love God with all your heart, soul and mind (Mark 12:30-31). In addition, the Bible says that God is love (1 John 4:8).
Opposites of love are hate, anger and apathy.
On January 1, 2011, [[CNN]] reported:
{{cquote|[[Nones|People unaffiliated]] with organized religion, atheists and [[Agnosticism|agnostics]] also report anger toward God either in the past, or anger focused on a hypothetical image - that is, what they imagined God might be like - said lead study author Julie Exline, Case Western Reserve University psychologist.
In studies on college students, atheists and agnostics reported more anger at God during their lifetimes than believers.<ref>[http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2011/01/01/anger-at-god-common-even-among-atheists/ Anger at God common, even among atheists]</ref>}}
No doubt many atheists mask/supress their anger towards God by feigning indifference and/or telling themselves that they are indifferent concerning His existence (See also: [[Atheism and hatred of God]]).
A subgroup of [[Atheism|atheists]]/agnostics refers to themselves as [[Apatheism|apatheists]].
