"Most moral and pious people are supposed to be (theists)Christians Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist " if you were to believe all the books written by all the professors/mullahs /lamas./popes/monks/gurus of the various divinity schools
As a result, being an atheist is immoral and uncool in much of contemporary society.
Human beings are egocentric, and for them, God exists to fulfill one's own ego. In many circles—someone who takes any religion seriously and logically can provoke mockery or even anger from others in the circle. Humans are very tribal, and religious belief is a good way to get oneself accepted or Kicked Out of certain tribes. When it comes to matters of religious belief, many people think they are making up their own mind when in reality they are simply going along with the group, whether the group is Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist or atheist. People who are religious say that "In a materialist, consumerist society, belief in the transcendent (something beyond our senses) is difficult to maintain, and people find it pleasanter not to believe than to be ridiculed."
In reality, the most difficult thing to do in this present earth is to come out in the open and say you do not believe in any religion and that you do not believe in the entity of "God"
So much so many atheists at heart tend to fear the reactions of the general public and fail to express their nonbelief.
they try to either keep silent or give some weak ass explanation like they being agnostic or they believe in a nondenominational " Higher Power "
