This insult that’s thrown at the religions, (Christians primarily) by atheists hurts and or triggers some Christians. At least it’s meant to. This word skydaddy is a commoners version of what atheists in the 17th and 18th centuries, argue is the reason for peoples continued belief in God. Even that isn’t original, because it is recorded throughout time past that in primitive tribes, one of the most common names for a monotheistic God was “Sky Lord” and “Sky God”. Andrew Lang, a literary critic, historian, translator, and anthropologist, discovered that the ancient ancestors ( the Au Han aborigine) of the Austrailian Aborigines that arrived about 50 to 65,000 years ago, had a religion with a higharcy of a High God or a Supreme Spirit called Darumulun or Bunjil. With a common discription also being “Papang”
(Father).
Wilhelm Schmidt and E.O. James scholars of comparative religion and anthropology, that a higher power figure is “a genuine feature of uncontaminated primitive religion. The native tribes of Australian tribes, the ” Fuegian peoples of South of America, many of the native American tribes, as well as some tribes in the continent of Africa, had a “skydaddy” evolved from it ancestors.

It’s often said that those who believe in God are longing for the father figure they never had. Sigmund Freud famously said the belief in God is largely a psychological projection. Saying the  idea of God is an exalted, idealized version of the human father figure, rooted in our infantile need for protection, security, and authority. Freud in an attempt to call others out for the speck in anothers eye completely missed the glaringly obvious speck in his. He projected a projection from his own past issues with his father not being what HE needed. Sigmund Freud had a deep disappointment in his father, Jacob Freud, from a story of his father being percecuted by an antisemitic Christian in Moravia under the Austrian Empire. The Christian smacked the hat off Jacobs head and was told to walk on the edge of the sidewalk and Jacob complied. Sigmund, being a young boy at the, didn’t understand why his fathers pasivity and he lamented his father for not standing up for himself, regarding his father as weak. On top of his father’s financial troubles , this only deepened the internal hostility at longing for a stronger more heroic father figure.
Sigmund later in life found a stronger father figure in Ernst Wilhelm von Brücke a German-Austrian physiologist and professor in Vienna. And Josef Breuer an Austrian physician, physiologist, and internist. They became mentors to Sigmund with Freud working for them in one way or another. Growing a faith in his intellectual overconfidence and arrogance rather than a “Skydaddy”.

My question is why is it that believers in God, Christianity in particular, get charged with having childhood issues? When it almost everytime the case for the atheistic minded person to have their view of God skewed from their own childhood past. I see it in everyones word salads for their reasons for not believing in a God. Either they had bad experiences in the Church, or they get their knowledge of religion (Christianity Specifically) from actors, musicians, friends, or worse their own parents misunderstandings of Christianity. All avenues have a deep seated intellectual arrogance, with all sincerely believing they have a well thought out knowledge of religion, and can’t be told otherwise. I’ve seen thisfor years and it still fills my mind with amazement and confusion. 
Paul C. Vitz an American psychologist, author, and professor, has this same amazement at the atheistic minded individual, particularly the more vehement athiest in his book Faith of the Fatherless. Asking, “Where were all the atheists prior to the eighteenth century? After all, there have been plenty of defective fathers and even autistic men throughout history! Yet the rejection of God as a clear intellectual and ideological position emerged in Western culture only a few centuries ago. How does one account for this?”

How indeed, this was not a widespread phenomenon as it is today, this non belief in something else grater than ourselves. The very idea pf athieism when put in its most basic form is as ridiculous as apes beliving they are the superior mammal. Paul Vitz  goes on to, rather hauntingly, predict our present time with our absentness of fathers in America (then literaly and now both literally and figuritively) will manifest in an “increase in contemporary skeptical attitudes toward God”.  Saying that trend of absent fathers “may also result in many who develop an intense “father hunger”, which could manifest itself in a variety of ways, ranging from a return to traditional religions to a growth in cults and support for political demagogues.”.

This has only become undeniable in our current year, but has been festering within this country since the 60’s and the drastic changes that came from it. From Nixon, Kennedy, and Jimmy Carter to the ever increasing list of Reagan, Mondale, the Bushes, the Clintons, Gore, Obama, Romney, Biden, Harris, and of course Trump, people have put their faith more and more into politics. Also our culture being heavily influenced by celebrities in hollywood and social media. Creating a cult mentality where people now are willing to kill for both politics and celebrities.
