Pure Reason?

Theists can give a hundred logical and convincing reasons for believing in God's existence, but none of these will be heard by atheists who hold the following thought: if there is no God, I can do whatever I want. This powerful motivation lies beneath many (but not all) who claim to be atheists for purely intellectual reasons. 

I just read a bunch of quotes by various atheists online, they all imply that people who believe in God are stupid, ignorant or deluded.  

Really, the question "Do you believe in God?" can never be truly objective for theists or atheists. The answer is always tied to some personal consequence or bias. No one responds to this question with pure reason alone.
