There are a lot of (if not more) self described atheists who worship the State too. It is basically inevitable that we will each have a hierarchy of values. Whatever sits atop said hierarchy will effectively be that person's God whether they realize it or not.

for me, that is the eternal laws of the universe.
Couldn't possibly be more since you outnumber us by such wide margins.
I see a lot of Christians claiming people are atheists based on what they consider to be ungodly actions. That doesn't make them atheists. For example look at the Hispanic drug gangs and Catholicism.
I think there's also a Plato vs Aristotle issue.
I don't recognize one mind as God, yet I don't believe in the State.
