This is a scientific study that was done awhile back that shows some interesting results.
This study is authentic and peer reviewed
An excerpt from the Study....
"The Study examined whether atheists exhibit evidence of emotional arousal when they dare God to cause harm to themselves and their intimates.
In Study 1, the participants (16 atheists, 13 religious individuals) read aloud 36 statements of three different types:
God, offensive, and neutral. In Study 2 (N = 19 atheists), 10 new stimulus statements were included in which atheists wished for negative events to occur.
The atheists did not think the God statements were as unpleasant as the religious participants did in their verbal reports.
However, the skin conductance level showed that asking God to do awful things was equally stressful to atheists as it was to religious people and that atheists were more affected by God statements than by wish or offensive statements. The results imply that atheists' attitudes toward God are ambivalent in that their explicit beliefs conflict with their effective response."

This is because deep down, atheist do believe in God even thought they deny his existence.
Science proves that the Atheist , who says he does not believe in a God, is afraid when telling God (whom they claim not to believe) to do them or their loved ones harm.
A very good study I would say.
Also Note : Both atheists and theists spoke with lower levels of intensity on God statements than on offensive statements or statements in which they dared Santa Claus instead of God, indicating that the God statements were more emotionally arousing.
