Who's commenting on religion? It seems those that you consider "atheist" (correct spelling, BTW) are commenting on LACK of religion, which by your own description WOULD BE something they're qualified to discuss. . .

FWIW, I'm not atheist, I'm "Recovering Catholic". Also I happen to believe that there MIGHT be room for some sort of spiritual multi-dimensional "super-entity" although there's precious little evidence to support it. If you want to call this "God", then fine. But I also find the notion that "God" being anything even remotely close to what's described in the religions of Judeasm, Christianity or Islam to be ridiculous. Any thought that we could understand the mind of such a being/entity is silly - even the notion that such a being/entity has a "mind" in the sense that we think of one is silly. More likely there are certain things that "just are". The notion that we can anthropomorphize "God" into something we can relate to is really dumbing it down.

God didn't make man in his image, man made God into HIS image. This is simultaneously offensive to the nature of such a being (since he/she/it is obviously greater than ourselves) and offensive to mankind, since it embraces ignorance and stupidity, rather than proposing ways to enlighten ourselves to some sort of more transcendent cosmic connection with such a being. . .
