In my experience, that's an unusual thing for an atheist to say. Most of the atheists I know put a lot of energy into denouncing religion and trying to talk people out of their beliefs. It's almost like a sort of reverse evangelism in a way - as if atheism itself was another religion competing with Christianity. I'd think that someone who doesn't believe in God or whatever wouldn't have any interest in religion period.
