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.
The statement in parentheses seems to contradict the one outside. Are you over-applying the correlation between magical thinking and theism?
The implication is "no one human"- that is, the atheists in question still live in a positive universe rather than a neutral one, but don't have an explanation for the positivity.
