Thats definitely part of it for lucas. I'd say its 50% that on some level lucas does believe in some kind of christian-like god that can grant people things they want but doesn't in lucas's case, which makes god a greedy bigot in lucas's eyes and caused lucas to tard rage himself into denying his existence out of spite and anger for not getting what he wants (and probably for allowing him to be a dirt poor hobo as well) and 50% lucas's learned and ingrained habit of dealing with things he doesn't like and can't control by denying their existence and screaming to move on. Clearly he can't pull the mooove on stuff with a god so he tries to convince himself he doesn't believe in god because by extension he'd be accepting some kind of afterlife and since he knows what christian hell is supposed to be like he doesn't want anything to do with it as he knows he's done enough to likely land his fat ass there. Which, if there is a god and hell he can't really do anything about. Its all denial and hoping he's not going to get punished for his behaviorHe’s so scared by the idea of hell. I’ve never heard another atheist make these kinds of arguments. “God can’t be real because he’s an angry evil torture monster.” Just sounds like something he tells himself because he’s terrified of what might happen when he dies.
Like you said, atheists don't make these kinds of arguments. It doesn't really make sense to. Just like they wouldn't reee constantly about how jupiter is an asshole that wants to be greedy and dump everybody in hades as punishment for not doing what he says. They don't believe any of it so they don't care. Lucas acts exactly like you'd expect someone to when they're trying to convince themselves rather than other people
and lets not forget, in lucas's 2010 reflections he does explicitly make statements about how when he was younger and hated his existence as it was at the time, he would frequently cry himself to sleep and wish he would die so he 'could meet an angel' with the implication it was to date said angel. Which is absolutely not the kind of thing an atheist would say. It certainly sounds like the build up to turning against the religion he thought he thought wasn't giving him what he deserved. When you think about it its textbook wern behavior - holding himself hostage to get what he wants. Only instead of holding his health hostage to get a zoomer bae he's threatening to hold his soul hostage to make god give him what he wants. In typical lucas fashion he sees religion and religious worship as transactional - I worship you and you give me what I want, if you don't I stop doing that and reee about how you don't exist and cost you other followers! ree! He is literally trying to manipulate god like he tries to manipulate everyone else around him into giving him what he wants. Shows just how self important and narcissistic he truly is. He really does see himself as a misunderstood and underappreciated genius
