Just to be clear, this is the takeaway you got from this comic? It’s absolutely not the one I got from reading it.

I assume the author meant atheists sre jerks for ruining someone's belief in god because of the whole neckbeard theme.

But I do know someone who fits my reading, and it was because they were gay and in the closet and they lost faith for a few years. It was both soul crushing and a relief for them, and they kept their composure when talking about their faith, but did end up crying a lot while they worked it out. They ended up going to a Unitarian church to get the sense of community

But my overall point is that assuming the athiest is a shitty, uncaring person is a crappy stereotype that leads to a lot of assumptions.
