If the point of the rapture is to separate believers from non-believers, wouldn’t it be easier for god to rapture atheists, because they’re fewer of them? It’d keep his overhead low…
Also,. What makes atheists better than anyone else? “I’m atheist. And I’m smarter than you. Because I’m atheist.” I think, based on the opinions of every atheist I’ve ever met, that at least half of them are just hipsters that are atheist simply because they think religion is stupid, and have no respect for people who believe in them. So why would God just rapture atheists? What a stupid thing to say.
Or God passed around the story of the rapture to see how selfish the flock is. The rapture chutes actually do a full reverse u-turn and will only accept those selfish and arrogant enough to take pleasure in leaving all those supposed sinners behind for Armageddon fodder.
I’m not usually one for generalizations, but someone who goes out of their way to state their extreme opinion that they know there is no god, is not someone anyone should generally give credence to. A) only a fool deals in absolutes. B) if its so important to them that you identify them as an atheist, how unbiased will they be?
This holds equally for every other extremist -ism.

Atheists and Christians flinging shit at each other makes me glad that I am no longer either.

Morgan, you may be basing your assessment of atheists on the ones that loudly proclaim their atheistness.
Just like a lot of atheists judge Christians by the statements of the loudest and most self-righteous portion of that group.
Same rules apply to Vegans, Trekkies, and Monster Truck Enthusiasts.
