Those same three adjectives can be used to describe someone who does believe in a God. Fearful that their lives may not actually have any deeper meaning, so they cling to an idea of grandiosity. Prideful, in the belief that they are worth creating, and something consciously created them. Weak, because in times of difficulty they use their faith as a crutch; they cannot find the strength within themselves. Also, this may be a controversial opinion on some Internet forums, but I'm sure if you were to look in a place like India, Saudi Arabia, or even Texas, your opinion would be widely shared. I'd like to clarify that atheism does not involve the belief that you are the supreme being in the universe, or that there is no greater power.
