Atheist'sNo, because God doesn't exist in the first place.
Absolutely and unreservedly.
John 3:16-1716For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
God's acceptance of anyone is not conditional on their acceptance of Him. He loves them, and Atheists certainly are included in 'the world' of which this and so many other verses speak, the world for whom Christ went through excruciating pain and died. If it would be possible to do so He would love them most of all, since they are lost and in desperate need of Him, though they seek Him not.
God's love for Atheists also seems to be evident in that He has given so many of them such intelligence and the ability to know Him, as well as that so many of them seem to live relatively long and successful lives, at least in the eyes of the world. This is of course, from God's perspective, that they would have further opportunity to repent.
It is sad that so many Christians would write them off when they are in such desperate need, even if unrecognized.
Another interpretation:Whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. 2 Chronicles 15;13 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Mark 1616 A believers requestThe above verses do not say that God does not love the persons who will pass into judgment. He is giving them exactly what they want. They do not want Him. He does not hate them and never has. Many verses could be found which may suggest this -but this is the end result of the deliberate choice of the unbeliever. God does not make unbelievers. They choose it - and they are certainly free to do so. No-one can ever be forced to believe against their will - God uses the still small voice of His spirit.Yes of course god loves atheists. He loves everyone whether you worship him or not. He wants you to believe and go to heaven with him. Of course when you go to judgment and you are not faithful and your not saved then you will be damned to hell.
