In January of 2011, [[CNN]] reported: "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."<ref>http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2011/01/01/anger-at-god-common-even-among-atheists/</ref> Of course, given the [[Irreligion and superstition|irrationality of atheism]], it is not surprising that there are atheists who are angry at God who is morally perfect.<ref>http://www.godisforus.com/information/worldview/god/perfection.htm</ref>
A high percentage of the founders and prominent leaders of the militant [[New Atheism]] movement have had problems with being overweight and anger may have been a causal factor in some cases (see: [[New Atheism leadership's problem with excess weight]]). Certainly anger cannot be ruled in terms of [[militant atheism|militant atheists]], such as [[New Atheism|New Atheists]], having problems with obesity (see: [[Theories of New Atheism leadership's problem with excess weight]]).
