Really? I would expect you of all people to see it.
Most atheists alieve in God and trust him to make the future turn out all right (ie they expect the future to magically be ok even if no one deliberately makes it so). Hence "beyond the reach of god" and all that stuff.
I guess this is offtopic in this particular thread, though.
I highly doubt that that expectation is due to hidden belief in gods. It sounds more like an overly strong generalization from "it all adds up to normality" to me.
In other words, you can expect the future to turn out alright without any agents actively making it so based purely on inductive bias.
