What an imbecilic quote! Inventing imaginary god(s) and imposing it/them on man, on real people, is specifically what religion does. If Atheist men don't believe in fake beings ... neither will they imagine themselves to be these fake beings. What atheist men think is that they are 'men', nothing more, nothing less. Gods, angels, demons and other assorted fake imaginary beings are part of the magical-thinking found in religion.

I don't think he meant it literally.
