A direct consequence of this inner damage are the following traits of personality:
1-Egocentrism (keep in mind that children have the tendency to be self-centered, their inmadurity prevents them to expand their awareness of the interests of people around them), So, adult atheists who have suffered religious abuse during their childhood have been stuck in that infantile personality, and this explains why they tend to be self-centered, egoistical, people. (This is why they tend to be dishonest, hostile, arrogant, condescending, supercilious, etc.).
2-Another consequence is a complex of (intellectual and moral) superiority. Their lack of emotional madurity push them (through a compensatory mechanism) to the delusion of superiority, even when they're intellectually inferior.
This particular aspects of hard-core atheists bothers me a lot. First, because many of them are demostrably irrational, intellectually retarded, inept and stupid (see solid evidence for this here, here and here).
Secondly, their atheistic worldview offers no ontological nor rational basis for morality (hence, the atheist's self-perception of moral superiority is a pure irrational delusion, incompatible with their own atheistic beliefs). Solid evidence for this is available here, here, here and here.
3-Another consequence of this is the atheist's tendency to use arguments, words and phrases related to cartoons and other games proper of children. For example, in serious discussions about the evidence for/against the paranormal, you're confronted with the atheist's constant references to Santa Claus, Peter Pan, Spaguetti Monsters and so forth. (If you understand the childish nature of the atheist's personality and its causes, then you won't be surprised by these kind of infantile comments. After all, little children cannot talk about serious topics in a serious way).
Also, in their own "scholarly" writtings and when defending their own (supposedly serious and science-based) position, they appeal to the same childish ideas and fantasies. An egregious example of this is Richard Carrier. In his book Sense and Goodness without God, you can read some of Carrier's fantasies which are mostly based on Star Trek (I'm not kidding you). Carrier explicitly concedes his inspiration in that movie when he writes that the "Secular Humanist Heaven" (Jime: What the hell is that?) is "a world rather like that in Star Trek: The Next Generation" (p. 405).
Another funny example of this are the criticisms of the members of the Center For Inquiry against Jesus of Nazareth. These atheist charlatans tried to ridicule the image of Jesus with paintings of Jesus with a long nose of.... PINOCCHO! (See the specific evidence for this here).
Try to imagine a bunch of adults doing something like that. What would you think of them? Would you trust them about serious, adult matters? Are they mature enough to discuss, seriously, complex topics like the existence of the paranormal, God, the afterlife, etc.? Obviously no. Their whole intellect just reach to discuss these matters in terms of Star Trek, Pinoccho, Santa Claus, Pink Elephants, etc.
They're like children in the body of an adult person, and you can imagine the consequence of this for the people who happens to be close to them.
