I have to believe that you are really referring to an agnostic in this discussion-one who does not believe in God, but who believes that there may be a God. I believe that atheists declare that there is no God, thus lying in their declaration. I believe this gives them a false sense that they can do immoral things without the consequences. It seems to me that that is their motivation-to be immoral. I believe that an atheist is at war with God in a sense, while an agnostic doesn't say either way if there is a God.
It would have to be virtually impossible for an atheist of an agnostic to live with God without becoming a believer. That is the premise of the statement that "every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is the Christ."
