Atheism doens't exist. People think they are atheists because they don't believe in God's representation they were lead to believe in. Or they revolt themselves against the difficulties that the belief in a Supreme Being may bring, once the faithful personal growth doens't come without a struggle. In extreme cases, of socialist revolutionaries rebelled against God's authority, and of satanism practioners, it not about a disbelief in the existence of God, but rather a disbelief in his person, like somebody may distrust another person.
The greatest concept man has ever conceived for the divine reality is that of a Father, as such amorous towards his children. But this is still a representation, suited only for the relationship man develops with God. For example, for an angel, to say that God is a Father won't make much sense, since he didn't have a progenitor. The image of a father he can only glimpse putting himself in the place of other beings, which is not the same as having lived it. God is much more than any representation we can make of him, he is that best reality we know exists.
But that doens't mean representations are not useful. Myths always open human mind with a range of experiential possibilities that mere, let us say, metaphysical acknowledgment might sterilize. Good philosophy -- as Plato knew well and Lao-Tsé better yet -- transits through logical intuition and phantasies.
